A colleague brought me a monarch chrysalis that had formed on a binder clip. We've been watching it change over the past two weeks.
 |
| The chrysalis |
 |
| Beginning to see the wings forming |
 |
| The chrysalis got to spend a few days at pre-school. |
 |
| On Sunday morning we woke up to find the chrysalis turned black. We could just see the orange butterfly wings inside. |
 |
| On Sunday evening the butterfly emerged |
 |
| Vivi named it "Aina Polkabot" - aina after her friend and polkabot because it looked like it was wearing polka dots and vivi says polka bot for polka dots. |
 |
| It's a boy! We can tell by the two black dots near the center of each of the smaller wings. |
