Description Here is the butterfly that I posted in my journal a photo of pupating just over a week ago. He just came out today~~~~

Pupating --> [link]

I raised him from an egg!
This series of links to crappy photos shows the process

and my sub ran out today so i couldnt post it in my journal and have people actually see it so i am posting it as a deviation but but but this is not an attempt at professional photography so please dont hurt me ;_; i just wanna SHOW OFF MY BABYYYYYYY <3 <3 <3

it was taken with a noob camera on noob mode, and the lighting on the last one is a flashlight because it was taken at night time

ahhh i love my butterflies~~~ I have 6 more that are still chrysalises and 1 that is going to pupate tomorrow

go to [link] to find out about how to raise monarchs and help save the monarch population~~~~ <3

Sorry ~Sudrien for not making proper use of the sub ;___; I was busy all summer and finally had the big exam TODAY. I have some non-animu commission work this week and then after that I'll hopefully churn out some NICE SHINEY DESU ANIMUS FOR YOU ALL AHAHAHAAAA

I LOVE BUTTERFLIES

So, the other week I found a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly (I think that's what it's called . . . at 3 AM I don't trust my brain . . . ) and I thought to myself, "Man! I wish I could raise butterflies!!" and then I saw your journal entry the other week and thought, "OH MY GOSH!!! I SO WANT TO DO THAT!!" and yeah that monarch is gorgeous!! Do you just let them go after they leave their pupa's? LOVE that Monarch's colors!!

3AM wow O_O
swallowtails are so beautiful but ive never got to hold one myself
I let these go about a day after they come out so they have time to dry and strengthen themselves :3

brilliant!!! i love it. normally all i see is photos of them fluttering about but this is much cooler. not to say i don't like the fluttering... nothing like a good flutter...
oh I'm sounding odd, Ok well then keep up the good work! ^_^

omg!! i did the exact same thing!! except i found the baby caterpillar in the field in my back yard and i would always gather milkweed

it's a male, BTW. the black spots on his lower wings show that.
