YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ONE OF MY RED ADMIRALS CAME OUT OF IT'S CHRYSALIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

I was at a thing at church, and once I came home I saw the empty chrysalis with a few blood-red drops underneath. At first I thought it was diseased, but then I figured out that the red stuff is just a natural part of the process. The butterfly was already moving around and ready to fly away. I picked up the butterfly. It started squeezing through my fingers and then flew out and flew into the door. I opened the door quickly and it flew onto my sister's shirt, but her hair smacked the butterfly and it flew away. It was very dramatic.

I had promised my younger sister she could hold the butterfly, but it flew away so fast, so I let her name it. She is obssesed with Jurassic World right now, so she named it Delta after the velociraptor.

And there is no way to tell the difference between a female and male red admiral, apart from size. So I am still unsure whether it was a male or female.

BUUUUUT of course there is sad news too.

My yellow bear caterpillar wasn't eating anything I gave it, so I decided to let it go. I checked on it today, and it was dead. Second later, I found a furry dagger moth caterpillaron the ground, which was probably injured and wasn't eating anything I gave it. I left it outside with some fresh leaves, but it probably won't make it. :(
