Description Hi, I went out to check on the Monarch Caterpillar I found yesterday that was beginning to change. Well here it is Folks, it is now a complete Chrysalis. Now all I have to do is look for the Adult Butterfly to hatch out in 12 to 15 days. Maybe this time I can get the pic of it with the wings still folded up...I've been trying to get that for over 3 years!

Here's what it looked like yesterday, you can clearly see the grass leaf it's attached to now.
