A moment of drama as fresh pet nearly loses their perch, and then once footing is regained, I think a mellow moment with ongoing tongue action and a well deserved rest is in order.

New pet scrambles to know which way to go, and, I'm imagining, to getting this new, unfamiliar, and now cold and wet, body working. We've seen in past videos how impressive their legspines are. Nonetheless, here the struggle seems much more intense, and epic. Never before have I seen a Monarch hugging their old chrysalis quite like that.

Also really excellent and very sensual abdominal pumping. Oooh-la-la. Lookee them wings firming up!


We've got a lot of tongue coiling, some abdomen-pumping, desperate attempts to climb wet leaves, and many of the very best water droplets I've yet had the pleasure to capture videographically.
