Saw newly emerged monarch. Observed for nearly two hours as he dried his wings on the plant where his chrysalis was formed. The plant was added to the garden on 8/7/21 before heavy storms on 8/9/21. The chrysalis was spotted on 8/10/21 when staking the new plant in anticipation of more severe storms. Didn't notice much change in chrysalis in the evening of 8/21/21. In the morning of 8/22/21 noticed a monarch hanging on the plant and not moving much. Noticed chrysalis was clear and empty. Watched monarch until his first flight!
