I am full of appreciation and respect for a hardy warrior. She had been in a chrysalis for weeks inside and yesterday I was concerned that her chrysalis had turned too black. I could still see her inside. I decided to blast the room she was in with 2 fan heaters for my free hour of power. She eclosed and was perfect. She hung overnight and is now at my front door in the sun stretching her wings. I’m certain she’ll fly off today to a winter over site.It’s just 9 a.m. and the outside temperature is eleven degrees.I have never had a healthy butterfly born this late in the season in Wellington.I have one more chrysalis left.
And I have eggs on my swan plants. I was unaware that winter over females could lay egg. In recent days I have seen her lay them. Has anyone else seen this?
