It was born stunted. Apparently, they need to struggle of getting out of that cocoon to force the blood into their wings, or some such.<br /><br />Lesson being, struggle is necessary, and if not pleasant, still good.<br /><br />I think that's a difficult concept in todays world of pain and discomfort avoidance.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-78364133546988001792009-08-11T01:33:43.888-04:002009-08-11T01:33:43.888-04:00have always loved butterflies and their promise. ...have always loved butterflies and their promise. Watched a monarch "hatch" with my kids years ago. I was stunned at how, JUST before the butterfly came out, the cocoon??? pupae???/ was so black and shrivelly. We thought it was dead. But it wasn't. That stage was "dead" and the butterfly was JUST about to begin its life. But looking it, you'd think it had died. That's always stuck with me . .
