A Female Monarch Graces Us

While the guys went hunting and I went to Gardner Village, Caitlin came home to find our chrysalis had burst into this beautiful creature.  We all came home that night and enjoyed this amazing sight.

Kyle and Mark were exhausted from hunting, but they woke up to see the miracle.

We hope she has a wonderful life.  We know she’s a SHE because Becky and Caitlin found out the shape of wings of boys and girls and passed it on to us.  Girls have a gentle slope, boys don’t.  Also, I think I saw her flutter her eyelashes.
