The one from home is flying freely in the house. It is real baby nursery. I am soooo excited.

Lots of chryalis' (chrysali?) through the past few years and once we saw one beginning to emerge, left and then when we returned it had already flown away.

He is still striped this morning, so I'm checking him every once in awhile so I can get photos of him changing into a chrysalis. He seems to be chewing on himself, so I imagine he's loosening his skin so he can wriggle out of it.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if Swallowtails hang upside down like that. I know their cocoons look nothing like the Monarchs.<BR/><BR/><B>Dee ~ </B>Thanks, Dee! I did bring one inside last year and I may do that if I don't get to see this one. Even though it was in the house, in the very same room I was, I still missed it! I thought it would take longer than it did.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-6987277835129751382008-09-02T10:21:00.000-04:002008-09-02T10:21:00.000-04:00Kylee, that is so cool. I love your photos of him...Kylee, that is so cool. I love your photos of him. So nice and with such great detail. I hope he makes it all the way to butterfly stage. I think you can bring him indoors if you want to watch him emerge.~~DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-80158848255410979322008-09-02T07:26:00.000-04:002008-09-02T07:26:00.000-04:00How exciting Kylee.

I wish you could get more pictures. <BR/><BR/>I always wonder where the caterpillars of the Black Swallowtail go when they finish eating the bronze fennel in the garden. I have not been lucky enough to see one of the big fat caterpillars even get into the J position. <BR/><BR/>I will be anxiously awaiting to see if you get to see any of the action.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
