Monarch Butterfly - Hatching Day

A few hours after our butterfuly hatched from the chrysalis, we held it very gently (by the body, not by the wings) and examined it.
The beginning and the end of metamorphosis



We took the butterfly outside and a when we checked a little while later it was gone...



We are kind of sad to see the whole process end! But it has been absolutely amazing!
