This monarch butterfly emerged today on day 25 of being a chrysalis! I saw the caterpillar molt and go into chrysalis state on Mon 9/12 on the siding of our house (near milkweed in our front yard). It rested here in the leaves for a while but now I believe has departed, hopefully safely, for its long journey. We've seen many monarch caterpillars in our milkweed and this is the second one we watched emerge to butterfly after its chrysalis state on our house! A monarch haven I guess!
