Monarch Life Cycle

Ever wonder how to raise a butterfly? Carolyn Minson was on a mission - raising Monarch butterflies. She raised and released about 100 butterflies in one summer. It all starts with finding milkweed plants that have eggs on them and then protecting the eggs and eventual caterpillars from the wide variety of potential predators. These pictures, photographed over a month-long period, document the stages from tiny pinhead size egg to full splendor adult.
