Meet Thing #1 as a butterfly, who we now call "Monica".
I raised "Monica" from an egg here in Cumberland County.
She emerged on the 14th of September, just before we went to church. She is 26 days old total. She was 16 days a caterpillar, 10 days a chrysalis, and today... Voila!! Monica the Monarch Butterfly!!! :-) We put some sugar water in a jar lid since we had to leave before she was ready to fly, and we wouldn't be home when her wings were hard and strong enough to take her first flight. When we came home, she was trying to fly through the screen in the sun-room.
Did you know: The expression "Voila!" means "See there!" or "Look there!" There are 2 ways to pronounce it: \wä-ˈlä\, and \vwä-ˈlä\.
