Well, I guess we'll keep waiting then. No butterflies today as it rained all day. I just watched the local news and the whole thing was about the rain and flooding. Hey! While I was typing that we just made the national news! Cool! Well, not so cool. My boss at the museum said not only are the turtles escaping, they got 8 inches of rain in 45 minutes! Which is so weird because this time of year is the dry season in this area. In bad news, when I went outside to get the mail, the one Monarch chrysalis high up on the house looks to be parasatized. Thumbs down I'll have to get the step ladder to get it off the house. But the caterpillar I pictured yesterday had made his chrysalis, although he did move a few inches down so now he's in the frame of the window.
