For @MaryMary , as well as for those who love butterflies too. :)

On this video, the birth of my fifth and last butterfly. I thought that it would not appear ... I was holding a Chrysalis in my hand and I thought, throw it away or not? Because other butterflies have long been born.
But at that moment the Chrysalis started to move in my palm. I managed to get it back and make a movie on the phone.

It's wonderful - every evening I feed the butterflies with syrup!

The name of the music is "Shalom", ( performer of Existence)
Shalom is an ancient word that was borrowed from the Hebrew language. It has several interpretations and can mean peace between nations and peace in the family. The use of this word occurs at the greeting and farewell and the desire for peace.

Very beautiful and thank you for the speed of x2. Metamorphosis is amazing! Very beautiful butterflies, different shapes and different colours.

Thank you, @alp! For me, this is especially valuable, because in nature butterflies are much more modest here. Fortunately, in Moscow there are also greenhouses with tropical butterflies. :)

I love them too, Larisa. Some of them are HUGE, with iridescent colour such as electric blue. I love one which is like a transparent brolly, all the wings are transparent with black pattern. Unbelievably beautiful. Evolution is an amazing thing.. Every time we went to Whipsnade zoo, we ooooed and aaaaed inside the butterfly corner.

Very cool! I raise a handful of Monarch butterflies every year. It's a fun process to watch. I'm not sure how many I've released in total. I'd guess around 30 since 2014. Some people go a little crazy with it and raise hundreds every year.

It's like a butterfly farm! Very interesting process!
I just now realized how fascinating it is!

@MaryMary It's good that I turned off the sound! My cat is also happy. Now he has new entertainment - to make attempts to enter the room where butterflies fly. :rolleyes:
But no one lets him there ... :sneaky:
