this lucky lad just won a trip to Mexico

photo of a green monarch butterfly chrysalis attached to some white plastic siding (different one than last time) - Monarchs typically live only around two weeks, but those that hatch in late fall are able to live for up to 6 months in order to make the migration to Mexico for the winter. apparently their bodies instinctually determine this by temperature and the angle of the sun in the sky

close up of the same monarch chrysalis, its gold pigment "diadem" markings visible

👋

photo of a newly hatched monarch butterfly perching on a bit of lavender in my yard. its chrysalis shell can be seen on the white plastic siding behind it. i believe this is another male. he will make the long migration to mexico due to eclosing this late in the season 👋
