We are still sheltering a single chrysalis. It is no longer luminously translucent, becoming more opaque each day. In the next couple of days we expect our butterfly to emerge during a cold spell with nights dipping below freezing.

Our guest will probably not survive release in this weather. Our solution is to either find a willing traveller to take it south to Madison or Lacrosse. If no one volunteers, our family will create an impromptu road trip to transport the insect to warmer regions.
