Abrupt end of monarch saga

Yesterday when I went to check on the monarch chrysalis, I saw nothing there.  I don't know what kind of predator got it.  Those are the ways of nature.  I was disappointed not to be able to watch it develop into an adult butterfly.  It's possible that some of the other 4 caterpillars have pupated and are hanging as chrysalides somewhere in my flower border, but I don't know where they are located if they did indeed survive.
Maybe next year...

  1. What a disappointment. I know you are, and I was hoping to see more 'real time' stuff on the butterfly. BUT as you say,that is nature and it is true. (Hope you find another or two!)
