If you have never seen a caterpillar turn into a chrysalis, take a few minutes to view this. I promise you will be amazed.

Welcome to Perennial Passion
About Me
- Diana LaMarre
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Wow, Zoey! I have been reading your blog every day, waiting for the event to finally happen and I was absolutely transfixed on your video! How amazing to watch the whole process unfold. Thanks for the educational entertainment. Do you video this with your digital video camera or is your still camera able to video that long?
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I still don't like bugs and stuff but it is interesting to watch. You are getting pretty good with those videos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Giddy & Mom.
ReplyDeleteGiddy, I used my regular digital camera. I can video as long as I have the space to accommodate it. Until recently I didn't realize what a nice feature that was.
I say WOW too, it is great what you filmed!! I didn't know that this turning into chrysalis goes so quickly. You came just at the right moment with your camera.! Thank you for sharing this amazing videoclip. Have a nice weekend. Greetings from sunny and warm Switzerland! Barbara
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW too. I didn't realize it happened so quickly either. I just remember in 3rd grade that we had the chrysalis dangling from the ceiling for a long time before they bloomed.
ReplyDeleteThat's so amazing, Zoey. You're amazing too, taking the time to film this and share it with us all. I think you're the new science chimp! Oh, your nails looked good too.
ReplyDeleteNow that was amazing to watch, thanks for sharing Zoey...that's just awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is so amazing! I loved it!! How lucky you to film these critters. Sean and I raised Painted Ladies and it was fun to see all this and then release them outside after they got their wings.
ReplyDeleteTell you mom that she shouldn't feel creepy about butterflies, just the nasty bugs like brown recluse spiders, wasps and yellow jackets.
All I could think of was Houdini. I'm sure he wriggled just like that to extricte himself from his tricky situations.
ReplyDeleteAmazing filming, Zoey. Thank you.
Totally cool! I had no idea it happened that quickly. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to link this page with my post today - hope that's okay with you. This is amazing!
ReplyDeleteZoey - I'm getting feedback on my blog - so check over there from time to time. You're a hit!!!
ReplyDeleteZoey, Thank you sooooo much for sharing this amazing video! I've never seen that process before. Like you I thought it took much longer than that! WOW!!!! Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage
ReplyDeleteTotaly Awesome!!!
ReplyDelete:)
I came over from Kris' place -- this is fantastic. I can't wait to show this to my five-year old! He'll love seeing it happen right before his eyes. Wonderful, wonderful video!
ReplyDeleteWow! That was great! I hope you catch a video of the butterfly emerging. Thanks Zoey - and thanks Kris!
ReplyDeleteHi, stopping by from Kris's blog....Thanks for sharing this, I enjoyed viewing one of the marvels of God's creation unfold.
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful, Zoey. First they're wrapped up and then while inside they're dissolved and reformed.
ReplyDeleteWhat an odd thing to happen.
Annie
That's really cool, Zoey. Do you just keep them in the house all winter?
