A Monarch butterfly ecloses, or emerges from its chrysalis, in our backyard. I was fortunate enough to get two cameras ready in time. This is the first Monarch I've recorded eclosing, and the first time I've ever shot any butterfly eclosing using two cameras.  It's a big video file, so it may take some time to fully download.
