It's amazing on how something so small can turn into one of the most beautiful butterflies on the planet

[@josephlee961]

CaveSnake, it's truly magical a caterpillar turned into a gorgeous butterfly. It's unreal.

Working on the house I look outside and a monarch is just flying everywhere and a little white butterfly also 😊❤❤

[@FrontYardVideo]

Thank you very much!

[@wapandweedislife]

I found 2 monarch eggs 3 days ago and the caterpillars are already getting big.

[@eaglesong9919]

Vivid and beautiful, delicate images, with soothing and relaxing music, so enjoyable and wonderful, my friend, thanks for your excellent work and sharing. Have a nice Weekend. ♥♥ ~ Maggie ~ ♥♥

[@FrontYardVideo]

eaglesong9919 Thank you for your very kind thoughts and words Maggie! Best wishes and I certainly enjoy your beautiful videos and appreciate your sharing as well!

[@TeaBurn]

Had no idea that they discard their caterpillar legs _before_ getting into the cocoon. Fascinating.

[@ScrepTure]

It's not a cocoon, it's a chrysalis. There is a difference you know!

[@dogodog1247]

Tea Burn They don't go into it. The chrysalis is its interior and the butterfly grew up in it

[@oreo3740]

[@nicolerobertson2654]

I have a monarch going through this process outside of my house! I'm excited to watch it up close and personal ☺

[@Polstok2024]

I love the music plus the butterfly gods creature indeed

[@NastyWoman1979]

Another totally fascinating insect to watch lay it's "nest" ootheca AND then the joy of watching thousands hatch. Last year I had 7 adults of two different varieties. I'll have to locate my videos and post!!!!

[@blessall4ever]

How is it that we never get tired of gaping at Mother Nature's miracles, and how come most people don't notice them as miracles, if at all... Fascinating and beautiful captures given a wonderful natural lightness by your editing, dear friend! *****for a butterfly dancing in the bush to the Blue Danube Waltz! (sorry, the soundtrack as played to me is NOT the ride of the valkyries!!) :-)))))))

[@FrontYardVideo]

[@bluelovebirdgogreenfangirl3363]

How did beres pollinate flowers and butterflies drink on flowers?

[@theredstonehive]

If I remember correctly with Female Monarchs the top part of the Chrysalis only drops 1 or 2 creaces but with Male it can be more.

[@yasminelenagaticamanque9273]

wow

[@Seeba1967]

I recognize the plant the monarch caterpillar made its chrysalis on.. it is a bottlebrush tree or bush.. callistemon .. I have a bottlebrush shrub in my backyard that butterflies and honey bees and wasps like to visit when it’s blooming it’s bright flowers.. also hummingbirds.. I raise monarch butterflies but mine are raised when I find them on my milkweed inside a butterfly cage outside

[@naufalharraz5188]

And I like caterpillars

[@raosprid]

What do the tentacles coming out of the head do? They don't seem to match up with the tentacles on its back. Seems like the butterfly's legs, but they're on the outside.

[@butlerkitty]

....they're antennae. did you drop out of kindergarten or something? this is like, first grade knowledge.

wil swallowtail lay egg in net without any plant?

[@dogodog1247]

Tanush Singh All butterflies lay eggs on leaves sometimes flowers but nothing else

[@LShaver947]

Tanush Singh they will lay eggs on a net if it is green or the color of leaves it eats it usually tricks the butterfly to thinking it is a plant
