THE BUTTERFLY EXPERIENCE: Officially The Last Post About The Hungry Little Caterpillar That's Now Miss Monarch

We had a great day, yesterday, observing the Monarch Butterfly emerge from it's chrysalis & then watching it as it's wings dried and straightened out! The Monarch is positively breath taking! Absolutely 100% beautiful and there is just something peaceful about them too!

Here are some pictures we took yesterday before we let the Butterfly go...

If you ever have the opportunity to scour patches of milkweed, be looking for a little pearl looking dot on the bottom side of the leaves and then your family can experience the chances that the Monarch butterfly egg goes through to become a beautiful butterfly! I can guarantee you, that our family will never be able to pass up another patch of milkweed without thoroughly examining it too! LOL! This "free" science experiment was just way to much fun!

THE BUTTERFLY EXPERIENCE: OMG...We are Mommies Again! Our Hungry Little Caterpillar is now...

An amazing, beautiful, glorious MONARCH BUTTERFLY!

GOOD BYE "Hungry Little Caterpillar" and HELLO "Miss Monarch"!

Seriously, I walked away for fifteen minutes and when I came back to peek at it, here is what I saw:

Isn't it breath taking?

We have to wait for it's wings to dry and then we'll let it fly off...

But what an amazing experience for me & my girls. I was almost moved to tears. Thank you Lord for our Beautiful Monarch Butterfly!

THE BUTTERFLY EXPERIENCE: Look What Happened to Our Hungry Little Caterpillar Over-Night

So, yesterday, we could see inside of the chrysalis, but it was still a greenish color. Now have a look at what it looked like this morning when we got up:

I am guessing that we will be seeing a butterfly emerge in the next couple days and I am so excited! I hope I don't miss the actual happening! I'd love to catch it on video or get some great pictures of it.

The kids and I have had such a great time watching this little tiny pindrop, pearl colored egg turn into something beautiful and amazing! GOD IS GOOD! It's so fastinating to watch & think about. I'm so grateful that our pastor's wife brought us the milkweed with the egg for us to have this experience. Such a fun "free" science experiment!
