Beautifully Black: Chrysalis of 2020

The Monarch caterpillar hung itself from my trashcan, the week I forgot to take the almost full container out to the street to be emptied. So, I was sad to miss its exit Wed., but glad to find the chrysalis empty when I got home, so I could put the very full can out Thursday.

Monarch Chrysalis the morning just before it split. A few strands of spider web decorate the shell.

One thought on “Beautifully Black: Chrysalis of 2020”

  1. Once again the cycle complete.
    Once more, beauty emerges from darkness reborn.
    Hope springs unseen and unheard,
    yet the empty shell of the chrysalis
    stands witness, alone.
