My Friend, the Monarch

I "caught" (not like they run real fast) 2 monarch caterpillars a couple of weeks ago, fed them, and they hatched from their cocoons last weekend!

One of them flew away right off the same day it hatched, but the other needed a couple days to recover from the rebirth:

It was so awesome, he just sat on my hand the whole time, not afraid, just trusting me.

Oh I wuv you mister butterfly!

He finally flew away after spending 2 days in a tupperware on this sunflower head :)
