Clearing out all the past-their-prime zinnias from the front garden bed yesterday and this giant swallowtail showed up and hung around the lantana long enough for me to go grab my camera.

An American Painted Lady looking a little rough around the edges. Can relate. 🧡

This morning I knew this chrysalis was about to be ready. Went for an hour for a walk, came back, and there is a new Monarch 🦋 😍. Still has to let the wings dry and unfold.
Always in wonder how this large butterfly fits into the small bag.

A dark grey bag containing the developing butterfly, hanging under the edge of a clay pot. The black and orange pattern of the wings is already visible, a sign that the bag will open soon.

The butterfly has emerged and is clinging to the now translucent empty bag.
The butterfly is orange with black veins and white dots along the edges of the wings.

I was just photographing this beautiful butterfly caterpillar on the little-traveled road when someone tapped me on the shoulder and quietly said, "Look over there!"
Had we not stopped for the caterpillar, we would have been very close...
Btw, this is the caterpillar (second photo for sure) of the Mourning Cloak butterfly (Nymphalis antiopa).
