The female monarch
Day 27
Out of these last three butterflies which have emerged, there are two males and one female. This is the female. The back wings do not have the small bumps of the glands like the male does.
Day 27
The two last butterflies which have emerged. At times they slowly rotate side to side.
Day 27
The last butterfly emerges. It is quite amazing to witness….
Its abdomen fills most of the chrysalis, and appears swollen in size. The wings at first are very small, and gradually expand as the butterfly fills them with liquid. Once the wings are fully expanded, the abdomen reduces in size as liquid is released from its abdomen.
Day 27
The third butterfly with wings fully expanded.
