This is a first for me. I have a monarch chrysalis that got dark on Friday, and then turned clear on Saturday, where you can see the butterfly very clearly. This typically means it will emerge that day. It didn't. So today I'm just certain it's going to emerge, and set up my camera so I can film it. Nothing. I saw the chrysalis shudder once. There is a split where it usually is, but... nothing. I can't believe she got this far and is not coming out :(
