This morning I knew this chrysalis was about to be ready. Went for an hour for a walk, came back, and there is a new Monarch 🦋 😍. Still has to let the wings dry and unfold.
Always in wonder how this large butterfly fits into the small bag.

The Hackberry Emperor butterfly, whose only host plant is the hackberry tree. This not the first I've seen this week...Which fits as I've had so many young hackberry trees pop up in the yards this year, hinting at a hidden larger tree nearby.
Grow hackberry, get butterfly! Yay!

A Red-Spotted Purple butterfly (Limenitis arthemis astyanax) on the purple coneflowers. The red spots at top corner of the wings are barely visible. But the shimmery blue color stands out.

With the big eyes and fluffy body, doesn't it just look like a little teddy bear with wings?
