Garden Tuesday ~ Natures bling
This is the prettiest thing that has grown in my garden all season! Just look at the sparkling, gold collar on this delicately shaded jade green form. Amazing!
likely a monarch! If it is it will turn black just before the butterfly emerges...it's not "dead"...watch it and then you can watch the butterfly emerge and dry out before it flies away - very cool to watch teneral insects dry! Not that I have done it a time or two or anything. :)
