Timelapse of one emerging I was lucky enough to capture a few years ago. Very cool! You shrunk it down to 50 seconds but do you remember how long the whole process actually took? Not sure anymore, but the actual emergence goes quick once it starts. You know it's gonna happen the day before as the chrysalis turns clear (and looks black). Then shortly after sunrise it'll split along the seam. You'll see it start pulsating and within maybe a minute or two the butterfly poops out. Then it'll take an hour or so for it to pump fluid from the abdomen into the wings. They'll likely hang out for a couple hours if left undisturbed. In our little cage we raise them in, we'll put an apple or peach slice or a paper towel soaked in sugar water- give them something to get some calories on.

Thanks. Sometimes I have the knack to be in the right place at the right time. Most times I don't.
