July 31, 2017


Location: Vero Beach, Environmental Learning Center

I am still a Coontie Hairstreak caterpillar,
I'm starting to form a chrysalis.
Technically, I'm starting to digest myself,
It's basic science, I'm not just a nihilist.

Welcome to day 4 of my special series on the lifecycle of the Cootie Hairstreak butterfly.
