In Which: the monarch is missing

No pictures of emerging butterflies available. Sigh. When I went to look at the chrysalis the day after I last posted a picture of it, it was missing. I hadn't looked at it all day, so the butterfly could have emerged and flown away. Well, here is a picture of a monarch that I pulled off of Nancy Drew's webshots page:

Ha!
Those were two monarchs I hatched in my screened-in-porch a few years ago. If you want to make sure they hatch you have to protect them. I have never seen a 'wild' chrysalis make it to hatching yet. Of course I have only seen two wild chrysali (I am not sure chrysali is correct but you get the idea).

Hi Fatty Kitty,
Are you glad to have your librarian (and your computer) back? I bet you missed them.
Love,
