Monarch - Danaus plexippus

Just thought I would share this one, a small penlight was used to highlight the chrysalis.
Living next to a field with lots of milkweed, I was priveleged to watch about 20 of these develop in 2006.

Very nice
but please adjust the date - if they are the same specimen, they can't both be August 13. : )

Click tag under each image
then hit the unlink button you'll see on the left under your tagged images. Unless they are the same specimen they shouldn't be linked. You should also fix the dates if they are not right, since that data is collected to give an idea of flight times for different species in our data map.

You might want to move the images to the guide before unlinking, as it'll save a step to move both together.
