Time lapse Morpho butterfly emerging from chrysalis.
The butterfly emerged early in the morning. I used a growlight with timer to simulate sunrise and to stimulate the butterfly emerge within a certain time of the morning.
I am grateful to the the Stratford Butterfly House for providing healthy chrysalis and advice.

  • I agree. Thank you

  • BEAUTIFUL!

  • Thank you. I've never been to Mexico but it's on my list of places I'd like to visit one day.

  • That is amazing! You must be very talented, and very tired!

  • It did take a few very early mornings but I'm pleased that I got the emergence plus I find watching the emergence fascinating - so I don't mind getting up that much.
