Bye bye butterfly!

Remember these little guys?

caterpillars

Here, you can see one of the caterpillars in it’s classic “J” formation. They form the chrysalis just a few hours later.

And 10 to 14 days later they emerge as butterflies.

This was just minutes after emerging from it’s chrysalis. And the following video is taken just moments after the butterfly broke through his chrysalis. We were totally bummed that we missed the actually busting through. We tried to catch the others, but you know how life goes, as soon as your back turns, something cool happens.

I have no idea what the dramatic music goes with; something that GB was watching, I’m sure.

The butterfly’s first pit stop.
