Video shows a monarch butterfly emerging from its crysalis, along with still photos of the caterpillar stage. The footage of the butterfly hatching was taken with my isight camera on my Macbook pro. I used time-lapse (1 shot/10 sec) to make it appear faster. Watch the minutes tick by in the counter. And remember: Plant Milkweed!

Watch this amazing animal video showing the clever survival techniques of the caterpillar as it disguises itself as ant larvae, and the deceptive techniques of the wasp as it invades the same ants nest to lay its eggs inside the butterfly larvae. Brilliant images in this video from BBC animal and wildlife show 'Life in the Undergrowth' with Sir David Attenborough.
