thats nicer than sitting in a hospital dad's waiting room

very nice

Beautiful Kit E. Tom I don't think they have dad waiting rooms anymore,most fathers watch the birth.When Destyny was born we had her 2 brothers,her grandma and grandpa and myself watching.My son J-d and I almost needed life jackets when they broke Niki's water,it was a tidal wave.

Beautiful puzzle. Took me a bit to find a place to get started but fun solve

Why don't you enter this into the WCP?

One of most beautiful puzzles I have ever done! Great job

Thanks for the positive comments. Title changed as you suggested, Kristen.

I did fail to mention in the description that the picture is not entirely accurate. Although the chrysalis is depicted as hanging from a milkweed, the caterpillars leave their food plant and move to a neighboring plant to enter their pupal stage (I assume this is a self-defense mechanism to avoid being consumed by their hungry brethren who might not be able to tell a chrysalis from a milkweed leaf, perhaps?). Upper left flowers are part of the umbrell of the milkweed (substituting blue for pink or lavender), and lower right is a clump of ageratum (a prefered food plant of Monarch butterflies).

Beautiful! Thanks!

Really well done. Good job.

Very pretty, and interesting too.
