If you read the blog over at Beautiful Wildlife Garden, you'll know in a recent article of mine I wrote about a caterpillar changing color based on the plant it was eating.
The cloudless sulphur caterpillar quickly turned into a beautiful butterfly. Here's a short, "From Caterpillar to Freedom", video slideshow:

I Love this! For all the caterpillars I've had this year, I cannot find one chrysalis..Do they make video cams for caterpillars?
Thanks Cindy! I had fun making it. I'm going to try to make a few "lessons from nature" slideshows under 5 minutes each involving interactions with critters and native plants
Love these guys! I am seeing a lot of them around this year. A good year for Sulphurs!
