Ellen recently had two butterfly chrysalises that she watched carefully until two beautiful butterflies emerged. She wasn't interested in naming either anything other than "butterfly," but she loved releasing them and giving one of them sugar water to give him/her a little pep. And as if releasing them weren't exciting enough, we saw one a day later fluttering around our neighbor's garden!

Beautiful monarch shortly after emerging from its chrysalis.
This guy needed a little sugar water before flying off, but the butterfly that emerged a day later took off so quickly we didn't even get a chance to take its picture!
