This is a picture of one of our two butterflies that we raised from very small caterpillars. It was exciting to watch all of the stages that a monarch goes through. If you have ever noticed the gold coloring on the chrysalis and wondered where it came from – we found out that it comes from the milkweed that they ate. This butterfly took a drink from one of our zinnias right when we set it down – it was actually drinking before it was off my daughter’s hand. If you look closely you can see it getting a drink.
