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.
