Monarch chrysalis with monarch nearly ready to emerge

You can see that the chrysalis looks dark now, instead of green. It has become translucent, and the darkness is from the adult butterfly (black and orange) getting ready to emerge. Amazing!

I've never seen anything like this. Nature certainly is amazing, and you capture it so beautifully. V.
