Monarch Butterfly Chrysalis

Danaus plexippus

Description:

This is a Monarch Butterfly Chrysalis, 1 day before emerging into a beautiful Monarch Butterfly

Habitat:

This was originally collected from a milkweed plant as a caterpillar and then transported to my home so we could witness the metamorphosis process daily in our yard. She emerged the following day and flew off to conduct her business.

Notes:

This image is a stack created from 54 sub photos using Helicon focus.
