Monarch butterfly emerging time lapse

Monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, emerging time lapse.
A signal that the butterfly is about to emerge is when the pupa case clears to reveal the butterfly within.The butterfly soon emerges and usually hanging in to the pupa skin.
The newly emerged butterfly pumps its wings to make them expand. It takes several hours before the wings expand and dry.

Thank you so much. I'm an Episcopal priest, and--as we say in the business--"this will preach"! It's utterly beautiful, and a perfect thing to contemplate in the Easter season, too. Blessings to you for doing this work and sharing it.
