A couple of weeks ago we found this little chrysalis perched up inside the tent. I quickly looked up to see if I could safely move it without harming them because sometimes, as I’ve learned the hard way, it’s easier to leave nature to take their course. Long story short, I break that tent down daily so it was necessary to move the chrysalis if that was going to stand a chance.
Did you know that the migration of monarchs is under threat by the shifts in our climates? This little piece of stardust is only one of the 5 or so generations that it takes to make the full migration to Michoacán, Mexico.
To hold the physical weight of this in my bodily memory is an honor that’s hard to describe. I’m so glad they made it- wish them luck on their journey 💛

If you look closely enough you can see the spots through the chrysalis walls. Nature is magic in real life.
