Metamorphosis - Complete

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted September 22, 2010248 views15 comments

Continued from my post two days ago. Just thought you might like to see the whole Monarch Metamorphosis project. The image with the Monarch egg and larva was shot a couple of years ago, and the other three images are from the past couple of weeks of watching my granddaughter's caterpillar pupate and then emerge before flying off to Mexico.

Cool. Each image is very nice-and combined they tell a great nature story. Thanks for posting.

Nice collection Wayne. I've always wanted to do something like this but haven't been able to find (let alone photograph) the center two stages. All the photo's look great, nice color and detail. Well done.

Wayne:
Excellent work. Great for teaching youngsters about BF life-cycle.

That is a gorgeous series. I love that even in the second image you can see the monarch inside.
