It has become part of our spring traditions to have painted lady caterpillars and watch them form their chrysalis and then emerge as butterflies. It is a cycle we never tire of watching or one we cease to be amazed with. We had six this year and it was the first time all size emerged intact. In the past some have died or emerged with malformed wings. This year the butterflies had a quick visit crawling on hands and then were off to visit our garden flowers and catch a ride on a current.
