Newborn Butterfly


One of the cocoons hatched today and this is the newborn.  I watched as he held on and contemplated what to do next.  I waited for him to fly for about an hour.  He just kept lightly flapping his wings.  I stepped into the garage to make a call and looked over my shoulder just in time to see him fly.  If you look closely, you can see the empty cocoon just underneath him.  There's one more cocoon and I'm watching carefully to see if I can get a picture of the actual "birth."

Til Tomorrow,
Tweetles and Patience
