Looks like we’ve got some very special visitors at the office!

🦋🌿 We’ve been spotting monarchs in all stages of their life cycle: tiny caterpillars munching on milkweed, chrysalises tucked away as they transform, and beautiful adult butterflies fluttering by! And that incredible transformation from caterpillar to butterfly happens in just about 10–14 days inside the chrysalis! 🤯 Did you know monarch caterpillars eat milkweed? 🌱 As they munch, they store toxic compounds from the milkweed in their bodies, making them unappealing to many predators. From caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly, we’re lucky to have a front-row seat to one of nature’s most amazing transformations.
