Our Very Own Butterfly
Yes. It happened. I finally found one chrysalis from a Monarch butterfly. I put it in my butterfly habitat and it hatched a beautiful butterfly today. It was amazing! That is our success story. I had to take about 50 caterpillars off my now stripped Passion Vine and to a new vine at the nursery nearby. I don't have enough caterpillar food....how tragic. I'm doing ok though. I will miss the little buggars, but at least they won't starve to death. The eat ALOT. I mean ALOT. Here's a photo of the success story and a photo of my assistant. She's a cute little buggar too. Thank goodness I get to keep her and so far we have enough food around here to keep her fed. David shops at Sam's you know.

They are both BEAUTIFUL!!
Congrats on your butterfly! I know how much you wanted that little butterly (actually how badly you wanted both of them) They are BOTH beautiful! Although I have to admit I am partial to the last little picture. I know, I know-I haven't met the other one yet, but I'm bettin' that cute little lady bug will keep my heart!
DANG IT! I KEEP FORGETTING TO SIGN MY NAME :-)
Love, Valerie
Thank you for posting the pictures of your beautiful butterfly! What a picture of God's beauty and grace! I'm sorry that the other's had to move away. Maybe they will fly back to your yard soon!

How long do they live? I'd heard only a few days? Is that true? When I'd heard that I thought how sad. They truly are beautiful and you hatched them? Oh I am very curious about all of this. Now I want one!...lol Your daughter is beautiful! Thanks for sharing this. =O)
