“Exquisite Jewels”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
The chrysalis of the monarch butterfly is a sight to be seen. It is beautiful with exquisite yellow and black looking jewels near the top.
After I spoke at the Friends First Friday group about hummingbirds and the Hummingbird Trail, I went on a treasure hunt. Shelly, the Director of Horticulture, told me there were three monarch caterpillars in a garden bed recently planted.
I flagged down another curator and we hunted for the treasure but came up empty. Instead of looking for caterpillars, I started looking for chrysalises. B-I-N-G-O!
Isn’t it beautiful?
