Butterfly Emergence

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted March 29, 2013219 views6 comments

My son and i have been observing caterpillars forming a chrysalis and then turning into butterflies in one of those butterfly kits. I set up the camera to try and capture "the moment" and failed multiple times. But the last chrysalis...I got it! This is just 4 of the 30-40 frames I got of the butterfly emerging from the chrysalis. What a cool thing to witness!!

Very nice Kate, this is an excellent presentation of the 'emergence'.
I agree, it must've been a 'cool thing to witness'..
Great Easter offering!

Beautifully done, Kate. A very elegant capture of the Emergence. The floral background/setting for the event is beautiful.

Great job capturing this sequence. It's a real treat to observe and your pictures do that justice. I find the clarity of the chrysalis is especially interesting.
