For the past two weeks I've been minding a couple of Eastern Black Swallowtail chrysalises. This morning one of them turned dark and a new butterfly was born! I missed the actual emergence from the chrysalis but when I picked him up (it's a male) his wings were still floppy and damp. What a gorgeous creature! Perhaps I'll have better luck in observing the birth of the next one.
