Some friends of ours were going away for the weekend, and they asked if we would be willing to watch their chrysalises. They thought that one of them was just about ready to hatch into a butterfly (I forget which kind) and they wanted us to release the butterfly after it hatched.
So on Sunday morning, which happened to be my daughter's birthday, she woke up and checked the little butterfly cage. One of them had hatched. We took it outside and opened the cage. It walked out onto this leaf. We checked on it every once in a while, but missed it when it finally flew off (or was eaten) a couple hours later.
