Tiny emerged on September 12th.He is a male. Look closely at the pictures to see the dots that show he is a male.He was at least 24 days old when he emerged. Tiny was in the chrysalis stage for 9 days.
This is a picture of Tiny on his first flight. He flew off my finger and landed in the sand when we tried to put him on a flower. We then picked him up and tried again to put him on the flower.
Success! He stayed on the flower this time :-) He stayed there for a few hours. I guess he was drinking lots of nectar so he would have plenty of energy for his long journey to Mexico :-)
