Undeniably a Miracle... how else can this be explained?
A Monarch Butterfly,
just seconds old.
As soon as he breaks free...
he begins to stretch and expand.
A Royal Monarch, indeed.
See his stunning cloak?
How did he ever fit inside that tiny Chrysalis!
Watch, as second by second, his wings grow longer...
and his body lengthens.
within about a minute...
Through a series of contortions this just a few seconds ago
chubby body becomes long and lean.
He will hang in upright position
until he is ready to test drive his new wings.
And then he will take flight...
The final post in this series of Butterfly Dreams will be posted Saturday.
You will be amazed.
I sure was.
