This is really outstanding. Much better than you would see in many nature books. -johnebones

This is a very interesting series. I'll probably never see the entire process myself. Michigan State University is nearby, and they sometimes have a butterfly garden in the summer. I have gone there to photograph butterflies, and one time I witnessed a part of the emerging process. Thanks for posting the series. Lynn Towns

Great series, Bill. I was so impressed when you posted a couple of these on STF last year and was hoping to see them again. What dedication! Bev

I collect the catapillars every year and raise them till they turn into butterflies. And it never ceases to amaze me to watch the final transformation.
