Not expecting a great score, but it was magical watching this gal emerge. Saw her form her chrysalis, too (there's a reason I netted the branch the caterpillar was eating when she got big LOL). Picked this shot for the interesting wavy pattern created by her inflating wings, and the waving arm/leg.
That front leg on the upper right is deformed and she was valiantly trying to use it. She finally gave up and used the rest of her legs to climb onto the branch to dry her wings. And I saw her fly :-)
