A special thing happened in my house today. A couple weeks ago I noted there was a weird looking spider egg sac in the corner up at the ceiling above my fridge. Since I have 9 foot ceilings and I would have to grab a ladder and crawl up on top of my fridge, I decided it could stay there awhile. I am not even really sure how I saw it, but every few days I looked up there in annoyance.

This morning, I noted there was liquid from the sac running down my wall, .. and I am like "OH PHOOEY!

This afternoon I realized that was not a spider sac. I have hatched them before, but the chrysalis was very different looking than the Painted Lady's that I hatched out here.

The picture doesn't do it justice, but it is a mint green butterfly. I am not convinced it is a moth. I cannot put it outside as it is too cold, so it is hanging out in the house eating sugar water and will have to take its chances.

These are a couple video's I thought found that I thought you would like. The bottom video reminded me alot of when we took SweetPea into the butterfly garden and she got to have butterflies land on her hands. Enjoy.
