Over the past month Mickey and Elaine Raine have seen the wonder of nature in action and up-close, specifically the transformation of more than two dozen caterpillars into beautiful butterflies. Mickey and Elaine helped save these caterpillars by request from predatory situations and bringing them to his own backyard.

Throughout the day we’ll be posting his awesome photos that show the amazing journey. We begin with a look at the prep stages for the caterpillars and their entrances into the Monarch safe houses where they would enter the Chrysalis stage.  You’re in for a treat today. This is truly awe-inspiring!
