Three

The third moth is up this morning. I managed to take a couple pictures before it flew away.
What a transformation!

Butterfly Away

I'm happy to report that our butterfly project is a success......sort of.
We did throw away a couple of chrysalis before Amy informed us those are not dead caterpillars.

Anyway, the first Moth came out yesterday and was released in the evening. It was disoriented at first and climbed on me for a while. Finally it fluttered it's wings and flied away into the sunset.

This morning the second one came up to the net covering the jar. It's stronger than the first one, making a viable effort to get out. When I took it out to the backyard, it never stayed on the tomato plant for a rest. It disappeared once the net is off.

I'm still hopeful for a Monarch butterfly.......
