Wonderful Bill!. At my home in Massachusetts which abutted conservation land, I grew milkweed along my driveway to attract monarchs, the caterpillars food plant. I photographed the full lifecycle of the monarchs. Even took the chrysalis inside to my dining table to photogragh the new butterflies emerging from the chrysalis and watching the fluid in their fat bodies pump into its expanding wings. In those couple of hours before the adult monarch could fly I would sometime photograph my Papillon dogs with a butterfly sitting on its head. Loved the life cycle of the butterflies with it stages. Eating as a caterpillar, transformation in the chrysalis and drinking, sex, and travel in the adult butterfly stage.
