Re: Monarch Butterfly resting after emerging today

We are in Los Altos, California. Average temperature has been in the mid 50's F, for weeks.

A neighbor clipped a twig with a caterpillar and kept it indoors for about a week. During that time it spun a chrysalis and emerged as a Monarch. He took the twig with Monarch outside and I came to photograph it. He said two other Monarchs had developed on the same bush without his intervention and flown away just before I arrived.
