It's that time of year again, when the kids (and myself) get overly invested in the lifecycle of these grubs. Last year we managed maybe a 10% success rate (from egg to butterfly) hopefully we'll do better this time round.

So today I saw a Monach butterfly looking thing, but it was only about 1cm long. I'm under the impression butterflies come out of the chrysalis the size that they stay. Anyone know what I might have seen?
Sounds like a Copper.
It might have been! Unfortunately I didn't get long enough of a look, and definitely not enough time for a photo.
Was it any of these?
