Another Conversion

Yesterday, as Brooklyn and I sat out in our front yard we saw first hand something I had only seen on TV previously. You may remember this post about all the caterpillars we had in our trees a few weeks ago. Shortly thereafter they just "disappeared" but I did begin to see many of these cocoons...

I even saw this one forming a few weeks back, which was a neat process to see. Notice how it is help up by just two small silk like threads onto the side of our concrete planter. Then of course, we saw what those caterpillars turn into...

This one emerged from a different cocoon near the one in the photo above. You can still see the moisture on it's left wing as it sat on a flower drying so it could then fly away.

Once again, the attention to detail in the smallest of things, and the processes therein are an amazing thing about the creation that surrounds us, and the Creator that made them.
