This is super. Do you remember where you saw it so you can monitor and hopefully capture the birth? j
I was hoping for the same jesika. Unfortunately I was working at the time it emerged but I must of just missed it because it was sitting on a rose bush right next to the chrysalis
Ken, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Last summer I had masses of pupae to monitor. As soon as I saw the “Twitch” I’d drop everything & just pupa watch. Most of the little sods crawled out if the phone rang or someone came to the door. But I have got a few emerging shots. It was so exciting and I hope to do better this year. j

This is amazing, Ken! Beautiful capture and such an unusual state to see this butterfly in.
Thanks heaps Krys. It was a real pain getting the butterfly to show through. I tried just about every light and angle mentionable.

Amazing photo. The lighting is great. It would be lovely to see the butterfly emerging.
Yes I must admit it was a small disappointment when I missed it but I suppose if it were always easy there would be no real fun. Thanks heaps jacqi
