Well, I had quite the surprise today. I went out to check on my Monarch and saw this.
But then, on a leaf right behind it, I saw this.
And for a moment, I was like...
But then I realized my Monarch had safely emerged and flew away and another caterpillar had made its chrysalis. I checked around the base of the plant and there was no sign of a Monarch so I'm assuming it safely flew away. Kind of odd that I didn't see a caterpillar in its "J" yesterday, but Monarchs make their chrysalises a little faster than other caterpillars so I could have missed it by a couple of hours.
Merry Christmas everyone!
