This morning we woke up and he had already emerged. You can see his empty cocoon on the front of the planter. Ethan remembered at the zoo they put out plates of fruit for the butterflies to suck on, so we thought we'd see if he'd take a nibble when he's ready.

Yea, that didn't take long. It almost looks like a monarch with it's wings closed. But I can make out the extended part (sorry not very scientific) on the bottom of its wings.
It was very good that Ethan remembered the fruit.
Will you keep him or let him go?
