Craziness! I bet I have checked this cacoon 9 million times. I've read what to look for. I know the stages. I knew we were getting close. And this happened literally in front of me this afternoon while I was feeding a baby. I checked to see if we had a clear cacoon. Nope, it was black as night.
Next thing I know there are antennae out!
So I am trying to get to my phone and the camera all at the same time while feeding a baby a bottle.
Finally, which seemed like years, I handed off Levi to Mark and began shooting with both hands. I was afraid I would miss something. Didn't want to take time to adjust for lightening and such. Just wanted to capture the moment.
The wings are wet and still folded.
I couldn't wait.
Just hanging waiting for his wings to completely dry.
Butterfly #1 ready for release tomorrow afternoon.
Cacoon #2 getting ready. I hope he waits until I get up in the morning. Tonight it looks so close.
