Butterfly!

We have a bed of milkweed and lantana in our front yard to attract butterflies. Daddy noticed a whole mess of Monarch caterpillars out there, so we got a butterfly house and put some caterpillars in it. They spun cocoons and nothing happened for a long while. This morning one of the cocoons opened and a Monarch butterfly came out!


Here's our butterfly. There is one more cocoon in the top of the butterfly house.


Here he comes!


Ta-da!


He tickles, Daddy!


So cool!


Now what, Momma?


Ooo...he's so pretty.
