Monarch butterfly chrysalis by larose forest photos

I think the monarch's chrysalis is exquisite. This one was hanging a little distance away from where the caterpillar had been feeding on milkweed.

Exquisite, indeed! I keep looking for this in my garden as the Monarch has been visiting the milkweed. V

It really is quite elegant. I've never seen an image of a monarch chrysalis before.

Yes, aren't they exquisite, little works of art. I've 19 of them hanging on my shadehouse (close to the Balloonplant foodplants) at the moment - and one on a Balloonplant. The caterpillars clearly get about before pupating and like the shadehouse!
