October 21 versus October 26. It's roughly day 10 of the variegated fritillary's life a a pupa. Probably it'll hatch at some point when I'm too busy having a life to watch butterflies be born :(

A happy little joyful thing
A monarch caterpillar!
Which I found at work. (I'm a part-time naturalist.) (Which is not the same as being a nudist, which one or two of the pastors at church may erroneously believe.)
I get real wrapped up in how terrible everything is going for the environment, and I'm pretty sure that's not really healthy. So it's good when I just get a little moment to just feel some joy without any guilt or anger attached to it.
And look! There it is. A little bit of joy, just crawling along a leaf of milkweed. He gets to eat, and eat, and eat, and then he melts down and re-forms and BAM, butterfly wings. And let's face it, no one else could pull off that fashion statement. Just sayin'.
