I love that I have extended my passion for butterflies and their lifecycle with others!

When you walk to my front door you often times have to watch your step up the path, as caterpillars are on the move, sometimes crossing that path to find a place to make their chrysalis on my home. Sometimes they create a chrysalis around the window giving us perfect view of when they emerge.

My good friend found a gulf fritillary caterpillar crawling up the ledge near my front door, and she like my daughter and I, had to save and put into our butterfly house where it instantly made its chrysalis. Yesterday the beauty emerged and flew free into our garden.

This one marks 84!
