Monarch Caterpillar Chrysalis
Danaus plexippus
33.1959, -117.379
Field Notes
Description:
Within the chrysalis the old body parts of the caterpillar are undergoing a remarkable
transformation, called metamorphosis, to become the beautiful parts that make up the butterfly
that will emerge. The monarch butterfly will emerge from the pupa and fly away, feeding on
flowers and just enjoying the short life it has left, which is only about two to six weeks.
