Then, in a really weird story...my brother was talking about a large black cocoon on the ficus tree we just bought (it's for our chameleon, you know I'm an invasive species task force member and native plant lover). I kind of ignored him and then Dad brought it over for me to inspect - and it's a freaking Monarch?! I'm not sure it's viable since it's turned black. I'll let you guys be the judge. We stuck it in the butterfly house just in case.
