New Monarch Butterfly spreads it's wings

This beautiful boy started from an egg I gathered on milkweed a month ago.
Reared in house from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis and finally a butterfly!

Here's a video I captured of it's birth!

This is as fresh and as perfect as ever (to echo Karen's comment). It is a joy and a privilege to watch the entire process from egg to beautiful adult. Good for you!! V
