UPDATE. Here is the actual photo of Maddy's Monarch.



All the other photos are from here: http://www.scienceprojectlab.com/monarch-butterfly.html

Our daughter was out golfing a few weeks ago. Somebody noticed she had a caterpillar on her sock. She knew just what it was. She took it with her in a coffee cup. It was a very hot day. She didn't want to leave it in the car, so she took it through the store with her.



She went home and she and our granddaughter looked up the what to do info. Maddy has a lady bug house. That made for a great temp home. Soon they had a chrysalis.



They were getting ready to go on vacation. They thought they would have to take it with them so they wouldn't miss the birth of a Monarch. Nature took care of that a few days before they were to leave it hatched. They set it free to continue the life cycle.
