Leaving somebody behind

Chrysalis in the Shed

As I was taking down the curtains in the Shed, I discovered this little butterfly chrysalis – it’s about an inch long. (The grey and black fuzzy bits are dust and sewing fluff. How embarrassing. I do not keep a tidy Shed.)

The internet suggests that it’s probably a Large White, which seems likely, as we had plenty of them fluttering across the garden this year. Sadly, I won’t be around to see it emerge.

I hope Gemma, who will be taking over the Shed (and the house!) on Friday, will allow it to stay put.
