On June five we brought two tiny white eggs in the house on two separate milkweed leaves.
On July three we let two gorgeous butterflies go into the wild (well, not so wild since we live in the city but it was so cool).

| The new butterflies wings aren't able to fly when they first come out of the chrysalis. |

| This was the first butterfly to emerge. |
 |
| This was the second butterfly and little sister was up from her nap when we let this one go. |

Monarchs are so beautiful.

| SOOOOOOOO fun! |
Love these pictures! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis was definitely a highlight to our summer.
DeleteThat is exciting!
ReplyDeleteIt really was. We've since let a third butterfly go and have two more chrysalises left so the fun continues.
DeleteHow did I miss this post! Those butterflies are gorgeous (and so is the young man who is modelling them). They are huge!

DeleteThanks!
It's so amazing too because the chrysalises aren't very big and then all of the sudden they pop out of them and wow they're so much bigger than you expect. It's really cool!
