Eastern Black Swallowtail Butterfly About to Emerge

It's been 11 days since I put a caterpillar and some springs of parsley into a plastic jar which had a wet paper towel for moisture on the bottom and a piece of aluminum foil with holes in it on the top. I also sprayed the container every other day with a little bit of water. It sat on my kitchen counter away from the sun.

A few hours later I missed it emerging, but grabbed my phone when I discovered this: Loved the Viagra ad in the background! (Shot with Samsung Note 4 phone)

Two super shots. Love the chrysalis with the butterfly about to emerge at any moment. What an experience. V
