We didn't have as many monarchs show up this year as we've had in the past but we still enjoyed checking on them every day and hunting for their chrysalises. We found about 8 chrysalises but a couple of them didn't emerge. It's funny to us how they pick some of the same spots as years past. For example, this cover Chris made for the blueberry bush. Can you spot the butterfly in the corner? We check 3 times as often when they're about to emerge so they don't get trapped in but BOTH that were inside found their own way out this year!?!?!?!
A chrysalis on the left that's joined evidence of 3 chrysalises past!
One chrysalis got knocked down by a soccer ball so Chris diligently hot glued it onto a stick and we kept it inside. I was very skeptical about it making it, but.....
it did!!!
We enjoyed watching it fly off!
