Number: 1

"May"
Female
Monarch that grew to chrysalis and emerged from it outside. We found her this morning on the ground as wind and rain were starting. She crawled on my hand willingly so we put her in isolated net enclosure for a few hours to allow her wings to dry a bit more.

She is pictured outside perched on pink purslane in the sun. She stayed in the sun partially sheltered from breeze for a while then moved to vinca then thumbergia before she flew off. Temp is now up to 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
