a time warp video
Transformation starts at around 0:10
My daughter, Rizza raises Monarch butterflies from the eggs that she finds in the milkweed leaves in her garden & places in a small cube netting in the house. The egg hatches & grows into a caterpillar. Once the caterpillar increase its size it eventually turns into a chrysalis for about two weeks. Then this transforms into a butterfly. When transformed, the butterfly stays put there for about 4 hours while the wings are wet. When the wings are dry, she then gets the butterfly & releases it in the garden.
This is the second generation (this year) Monarch butterflies that will lay the eggs for the final generation (early fall) that will be the ones to migrate to Mexico.
Hope you all enjoy watching this time lapse video taken by Rizza.
