Prospect Park Monarch chrysalis emergence
From a restored area thats been planted with native flowers, my coworker Howard found this Monarch butterfly emerging from its Chrysalis on Monday. The area was recently restored from mulberry infestation and converted into a wildflower/grass meadow. Good to see our effort pay off even for one Monarch.
