Baby Monarch on a milkweed leaf:

This is a picture of the monarch caterpillar as it prepares to change into a chrysalis

Here is the caterpillar midway through metamorphisis - you can still see the stripes:

And, here he is completely done...this is from just a few minutes ago....

In 7 -10 days this beautiful chrysalis will be the most amazing Monarch Butterfly...wish I could be here to see that change too! I was so excited that my kids are seeing this, I had to post it!
