Emergence!

Now, I am really excited....see, this is the FIRST butterfly that I've ever had in captivity and held through chrysalis to adult. I've just never taken the time to experiment with it. So, last night when I went into the closet for something and heard a fluttering noise (which actually was a struggling field cricket in a widow's web...), I noticed the butterfly had emerged. I took this one picture before I released it outside. What a neat experience.

UPDATE: August 5,2007 - I forgot to list the species involved here...oops. Cloudless sulphur, Phoebis sennae.
