The miricle of birth......

Two of my caterpillars emerged this morning!!! Now, I have two beautiful butterflies, both of them girls! Of course, I had to name one after my friend Allison, she insisted :) Unfortunately I was unable to see either of them emerge, because I was spending the day with Allison at her house, but another one should be emerging any time now, most likely by the end of the day! You see, the chrysalis is green until the butterfly is ready to come out, when it turns clear, and you can actually see the butterfly all wrapped up in the chrysalis shape, and then, before you know it, the butterfly is out and drying it's wings!



not my best photography, but, there you go.....
