It's Almost here
The very first Monarch caterpillar that went to cocoon (the one I found at church on the bush out front) is about to come out of it's cocoon. I'd put a picture up but the net it's under makes it difficult to get a picture. I was thinking when I first saw the cocoons that they were green and turned clear just before it came out. I have a new theory though. I believe that the cocoon is always clear and the green stuff is the food (AKA digested leaves) that sustains the monarch while it is inside. Kinda like the white of a chicken egg feeds the chick while it is growing inside the shell. Hopefully we will get some pictures of it when it comes out in the next day or two.
