A monarch butterfly emerges from its chrysalis after about two weeks cocooned. <br /><br />"A few weeks ago, I found the egg on milkweed in my neighbourhood, took it in, and watched it hatch into a microscopic caterpillar," wrote the filmer. It became enormous very quickly, and formed the chrysalis. <br /><br />"The butterflies usually hatch very early in the morning, so I got up and waited for it. I was lucky enough to catch this on video!" she added. <br /><br />The footage was filmed in Chicago on July 22.
