And these are all the pretty chrysalis. I think I counted 22 of them so far. It will be a grand day when I release the last one out into the world when they emerge as butterflies! :-) It doesn't get any better than this! :-) Especially coming from someone who has adored butterflies all her life and has raised and released close to 1000 of them over the past 7 years. :-)

Usually they get eaten by the wasps, but lately I've noted quite a decline in the wasps population. I think a new sheriff has moved into town and the bug is attacking and killing the wasps. I think the new predator bugs are the Robber Flies. My Monarchs thank them ... and me, too! :-)
