I was careless and didn't quite get the whole of the identification label in my original photo, so am not sure what tropical butterfly these gorgeous chrysalisses belong to. I think it's just amazing that each has a row of tiny gold dots. Nature is so clever and beautiful : ) Seen, of course, at the Calgary Zoo. Thanks so much to Art (LeapFrog!) for the Monarch ID! Click here, if you are interested and have time, to see a photo documentary of the various stages of a Monarch, from caterpillar to butterfly. I love the way the chrysallis turns a beautiful shade of blue. www.linknot.com/Magic-Garden/Monarch-chrysalis.htm Two short, amazing videos of the transformation from caterpillar to chrysallis, from clayruth.com/pupa.html . clayruth.com/Content/Pupation.wmv clayruth.com/Content/Contraction.wmv
