Who emerged from this gem-like chrysalis?
This magnificent monarch butterfly emerged on Sept. 8,2010 from gem-like chrysalis shared by Jane Thomas’s 5th/6th grade class at Santa Margarita School. Now, when I see a monarch fluttering around our neighborhood, I wonder if it is the same one. I’ve planted native milkweed in our home garden and hope to encourage more of these beautiful butterflies to spend part of their amazing life cycle in our garden. Thanks to Jane Thomas and her students for sharing and cheers for all the butterflies who color and beautify the world. Photos by B.J. Gingg.
