Look who's freshly eclosed! Why it's a... oh, dip I forgot to make note of what species these butterflies are. Suffice it to say they're all native North American species, mostly from Florida. If you really want to know you should go to the Franklin Park Zoo and go into the Butterfly Pavilion. On these wicked hot days when all the birds and mammals are sacked out and panting, the butterflies are super enervated.
Here's a close up of the chrysalides of the type that produced the above butterfly. It's easy to see why designers on sci-fi movies use insects as inspiration.
The gold accenting seems a bit ostentatious, don't you think?
One left to go!
Busily working at making more butterflies.
A queen (Danaus gilippus) hasn't quite sorted out her robes.
There are more things than butterflies in this pavilion--look around.
In the pond, a bullfrog.
On the pond, a pair of Argentine ruddy ducks.
Plucked from the pond, a little leech.
Running into some trying to find her way back to the pond, Summer's Eve (formerly referred here to as Harriet), a cooter.
