As part of our study of life cycles we have been observing a Monarch
caterpillar in our classroom. We were surprised to find yesterday
morning that the chrysalis looked different--it had turned from green to
clear and we could see the butterfly inside. Just before lunch our
Monarch emerged from the chrysalis. The first picture shows what our
butterfly looked like just after hatching. The second picture show what
it looked like just a few hours later. What differences do you notice?
