George B. of Grand Blanc provided this sequence of the development of a monarch (above and left) [July '07]

"Hi Louise, Brenda and I stopped in for a visit on June 23rd and purchased a baby Monarch caterpillar. This was our first time "raising" a butterfly and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our family and friends, young and old, found it both captivating and educational. We were able to enjoy and photograph the entire metamorphosis and are sending along one of our favorite images taken on July 15th. Thanks for the fun!
