In the country, there are always a lot of opportunities to observe nature. The other day we were in our garden and found this neat cocoon. I should have taken a picture of it immediately but didn't. It was a bright green with gold sparkles on around it. In the next day or two it looked like this:
Emerging
Poor Maxazilla--she had crumpled wings and as far as we know couldn't fly. So the kids were pretty sad about that. They kept her on a flower on our porch and fed her milkweed and tried to feed her sugar water. Then the next day we left the house for a bit and came back and she wasn't there. Maybe she flew off? Well, that's what they like to think anyhow.
It was neat to see this anyways.

I'm glad they got to experience that. I remember seeing that when I was little.
that name is just too funny, sounds like some ugly bug..here a beautiful Monarch(I think) butterfly. What a special adventure for the kids, nice they nursed it to health, now it can fly south and return next summer.
