Description
I posted a series of Monarch caterpillars a couple weeks ago and this is one of them. Not sure if this is male or female because I couldn’t stick around to watch its wings open but she’s so pretty it must be a girl. The drops on the leaf are excess wing fluid that gets ejected after the wings inflate. I gently moved her onto this clematis flower by letting her crawl onto my finger and then onto the flower. One must be careful not to touch the wings as they are very fragile at this stage. There was a significant breeze so burst single capture was in order. Had to trash a bunch with motion blur but got several keepers. >=))>
Specific Feedback
I set up for a time lapse of the emergence. I set the interval for 40 seconds and went back inside and missed when the birthing process started or I would have decreased the interval significantly for a smoother and longer result. Still think it’s a pretty cool sequence.
