Day 5. A little dewy, but it looks like maybe the outline of the wings are starting to show.

Day 7. I've been hoping to see it darken some, but it must be too soon.

Day 9, a very wet and rainy morning. It looks a bit darker toe, but maybe it's just the weather?

Day 10. Getting a bit worried about the lack of changes in the chrysalis. Hoping everything is okay. Maybe it will look darker tomorrow.

Day 11. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but doesn't it look like the outline of wings is showing?

Day 14. I think it's darker! Usually by now the Monarch has emerged, but this one seems to be taking it's time.

This is a wonderful thread and a true appreciation of nature.
Thank you for your time and effort in photographing this event. It would be a great teaching tool for children. Imagine, a science lesson in your own backyard.
