Green chrysalis has become clear. The monarch's wings can be seen through the chrysalis.

It is the same around here, Logan; very few caterpillars or butterflies. I went for a hike this morning and saw lots of milkweed, but nothing on them.

Nice! It's been a bad year for monarchs here. I've seen at most five, and only a couple cats.
