Adult Monarch Butterfly Emerges from its Chrysalis 

Man...that first full wing outstretch is probably one of the best feelings ever 😁

I don't think enough people realize how beautiful nature is to our world. There's a purpose for everything.

I bought a swan plant for my daughter so she could experience the wonder of it.....but she was over it within a couple of days LOL. Then I witnessed a wasp literally sucking the life out a caterpillar. Awful!!! After seeing that I couldn't just leave them outside and vulnerable (they are so cute when they hatch) so I decided to bring the plant inside...keep them safe LOL Anyway, long story short I have 22 Chrysalis babies ready to hatch, I can't wait!!. Thanks for sharing :o) I am addicted!!

Metapod evolves into Butterfree but in real life

2:15 who here just heard a cat?? Also, this is basically me trying to get out of bed in the morning lol

From left to right, male, male, female, female. Also I just realized butterflies are giant mosquitos with fancy wings. Odd.

this is great infomation... i am currently writing a short children's story this morning for an online educational module. it is about KRISA, the happy butterfly. this video gave me a vivid imaghes of how they emerge.

That butterfly just seconds from emerging and already was about to be some cats dinner.

I love hearing all of the birds singing in the background of this video.😇😍🥰🐦

Great videos! Any idea what the multiple of size of a caterpillar just out of the “egg” to the caterpillar just beginning to turn into a chrysalis? I don’t think 1000 times bigger is enough. Thanks

Left two, male. Right two, female. I thought I heard a kitty in the background!

:0! Butterflies can meow? Illuminati confirmed! 🔼

i’m taking care of 3 right now and one is already hanging upside down in a j shape making all sorts of webs it’s so cool i’m so excited to see it turn into a chrysalis ^^

Two boys on the left and two girls on the right. I started raising monarch butterflies late last year and had 13 of them. My goal for this year was 100. So far, I counted 163 of them with more to come. The entire process from egg to caterpillar to Chrysalis to butterfly is truly amazing and this video is very educational. 🐛🦋👍😊

I remember once when I was younger I had a little habitat and a kit to grow 5 caterpillars (I don't remember what species). The caterpillars came in a jar with breathing holes on the top and caterpillar food on the bottom. Four got up to the top of the jar and cocooned while the last one died somehow. I took the pad with the cocoons out of the jar and into the habitat. Like over a week later, only three of them had emerged, the last one had turned black and never emerged, so that one failed. But as if that wasn't enough, one the three sole survivors had misshapen wings. Later that day I repeatedly threw the butterflies into the air to release them, after a while both of the perfect ones managed to fly away, as for the poor one with misshapen wings, I placed it on a plant in a field and let it be free that way, I tested the little one but of course it couldn't fly because of its misshapen wings. Many years before that I was visiting my grandmother and grandfather with my family and they had some wooden wind chimes laying on the floor of their garden and I saw a cocoon stuck to one of the tubes. I gently peeled it off and we took it back home with us. A long while later (from what I can remember) my mother and I walked into the kitchen and found the cocoon transparent and empty. We looked at the window and saw a cabbage white butterfly on it, on the inside so it obviously came from the cocoon I found. My mother caught it and then released it out in the garden where it flew away to freedom.

I saw this is my school and I’m seeing the beautiful butterfly emerge again ❤❤❤

I enjoyed watching this video. I’ve been raising monarch butterflies for several years. It always amazes me to see this beautiful creature emerge from its chrysalis. I talk about the Monarch butterflies into the garden group, which I belong to in northeastern, Pennsylvania. I urge our members to plant native milkweed and n their gardens where it will not be disturbed but monitored. I found this year was not a good year for Monarchs.

Great video! Just learned something from my son! We found 2x males and 2x females..

Thank you for capturing this, i have a bunch of Monarchs in their Chrysalis and i try to capture them leaving it, only to see them doing the Stretching their wings

Great videos, both before and after. May I ask what camera setup you are using. Also, love the background "noise"

Just found this video after witnessing a monarch caterpillar form into a crystalys within hours. I'm fascinated by the gold thread looking line around it. Truly looks like 24k. It's been about a week and my husband and I just witnessed, what looked like, it taking a pee. Now has a small opening on the side so it won't be long. From Florida ❤🦋🌞😀👍👍

kitty wants to investigate! 😸

Very informative Monarch videos-and you made it fun, too! I currently have quite a few caterpillars munching away on volunteer Milkweed plants along my driveway-now I know what to expect! Thankyou! :^)

Yup thesmudge in the wing almost always look orange

I love so much this butterfly life! His life is the trend of our life. You have describe perfectly the medium stage of this and you call the butterfly as "he" not as "it". It's great! I'm sorry for my english... I am a 🦋 What do you say about? Thank you! ❤

Great video! Thank you.

That thing is huge!

Beautiful and informative! Great video thanks for sharing.

Thanks for another great video!

It scared me when the body just fell out

I wonder if it’s the same life/consciousness after such a change. 😳

two males on the left and two females on the right

Thanks

pls make Polymer Balls in Liquid Nitrogen

2:40, do their bodies usually pulsate like that? GRoss

my favorite one is the butterfly

Patrick: 😭 WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME!

jefferson lab. You should check out the video about the structure of the butterfly's scale on its wings. The channel that studied it was "Smarter Every Day". They used an electron microscope. It's pretty cool. Should check it out sometime.

Just beautiful birth, thank you for this wonderful video

UNBELIEVABLE ---ID--Thank you !!!

How about a series on the Life Cycle of the Milkweed Plant? Monarch Butterflies are not the only insect that benefits from the Milkweed Plant during its life cycle. I have counted about 24 different species of insects that nourish themselves off of the Milkweed Plants growing in my garden. Some visit during the day times and some visit at night times. Then as the plant begins its seed cycle and the leaves and petals wither away another few insects come by to nourish themselves.

Butterfly on extreme left with wings up, and butterfly with wings open are both males. Thanks for the information!,

two boys on left, two girls on right

IT ATE WORMY!!!!

Fantastic time lapse footage!

Cool video guys, Thanks!

It's a boy! Save the monarchs!

That was beautiful

Hmm, I heard a cat

on the left is two boys on of the boys had there wings open and on the right there was the girls

@Jefferson Lab just wanted to know why the butterflies roam in cool soft mud more like clay during winters?

Thats awesome thank you sir😊

Amazingly incredible

WOW!!! Nature's always amazing...

Absolutely 💯 beautiful I think 1x boy an 2 x female butterfly from downunder 🇦🇺✝️❤️

2:02 Creepy :P

Does the female have a scent gland somewhere else? Do the males use the gland (I'm assuming yes, obviously) to get well... what scent exactly?

Now he can live and make a garden beautiful

1 boy 3 girls?

Pretty

VERY COOOLLLL

Amazing!

Thank you, just amazing video

How did you find that

the male is the one with the open wings. Its harder to tell with the wings closed, but the rest look like females. Again his color looks more vibrant.

Your show was awesome!!!🎉😊

Cool

Beautiful!

from left to right, the butterflies are male, male, female, female.

it's beautiful and desturbing

This is cool!

Was the "hatched" butterfly eating/smelling something embedded in the Chrysalis (nutrients of some sort?) Or was the butterfly just holding on until it can acclimate to its environment and its body's new capabilities?

WOW. Amazing! Anyway left side has 2 boys and the right side has 2 girls. Am I right?

This is truly magnificent. And not normal in anyway

Hey I have question ! When i was in elementary school my brother found a monarch butterfly on the ground. It wings were intact but look crumpled like a sheet of paper that has been crushed and then straightened out again. Anyway he took it home and we fed it diluted honey. It survived like that for about two weeks before dying. I never understood why it wings were crumpled up. Did something go wrong when it came out of it's cocoon?

Incredible. Can we see it start to flap its wings, or did that not get caught on camera?

Interesting

I don't get how the one on the far left is a male when the veins of the wings are super thick just like the two females on the right.. I see the small oranges smudge on the left ones wing, but those veins are super thick.

I volunteer ed at a farm and witness this. They don't waste anytime they strat procreation immediately it was fascinating to observed

Awww Sylvie ❤️❤️

The amazing wisdom of our Creator!! All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, the Lord God made them all!

I see two male monarch butterflies and two female monarch butterflies on the flowers.

more to the bottom left are boys and other 2 are girls and they are closer to the top right

Wonder full😍😍😍😍

How does it lose that big thing in it's back? 2:40 - 2:50

🦋

Make more videos it's been 4 months

Fly fly fly

So crazy how nature works

Is this in real time? If not how much time does it actually take . I m asking cause I've got a butterfly emerging and its been hours and its still not fully out..i tried helping but i fear it'll make it weak?

Was that a time lapse video? How long was the process from when the butterfly broke through the chrysalis until it was “free”?

I saw one boy and two girl butterflies.

Two males and two females. I HAVE LIKE 300 MALES AND 200 FEMALES!

ummm its 2 males and 2 females right??

From left to right its boy boy girl girl

i think the two butterflies on the left are boys and th ones on the right are girls

Make more videos please

the 3 are the males the ones the gril

the one with the wings open is the boy

This is quite disturbing I say, but for you guys it's pretty, but for me, not for you, This is unsettling. btw 2020?
