Well I have to say after last week’s puzzler, and a week of watching 4 Monarchs emerge from their chrysalises, I feel at a loss as to a new puzzler. Impossible to top the awe-inspiring videos of the butterflies emerging!
But it’s a new day and almost a new week AND a new month so let’s just go ahead and jump to a new question….
One day while I was out in a field recently, photographing “little wonders,” I found these lovely orange eggs that to me, looked like tiny works of art. They were on a goldenrod leaf, first 10 and then on a different day, just two side by side.
As a Naturalist of course I wondered what they would become, deciding to bring the two home and hatch them out…I had a handful of Monarch eggs on Milkweed leaves in a small screened-in container, why not add these eggs and see what happened?
But ARE they butterfly eggs? What will come out of these lovely eggs? Check back next week to learn the answer AND hear the rest of the story.
Have a wonderful weekend! Can you believe it’s nearly September?
Did you ever figure out what the iridescent eggs on the Milkweed were? Just found some yesterday.
Yes, they are from a kind of assassin bug! Very beautiful eggs, very deadly insect (to other insects that is!)
