Daisies 雛菊？Dandalions 蒲公英？

 Recently found in my little garden 最近出現在我的小花園

New ones, 7 March 新花 正月廿四日

The yellow ones could be dandelions, whose flowers fleeting, and one ready to spread its seeds today. 黃色的可能是蒲公英，其花短暫，其一已預備撒種。

Chinese New Year Born Butterfly 春節新生蝴蝶

The chrysalis found on Dec 6 (almost certain already couple of weeks old) on a cardboard finally emerged as a large beautiful butterfly today, Chinese New Year's Eve! There is no liquid left in the shell.  大年三十，大美蝴蝶脫繭而出，幾乎近三個月之後，空殼內竟無剩一滴液體！

Another came out the next day, Chinese New Year Day! 連續第二日又一隻出殼，大年初一！

Third came out, Sunday Valatine's Day! 第三隻，初三情人節！

蝙蝠飛蛾 Bat-like Moth

看似蝙蝠的小飛蛾，翼展約23毫米，不知何名？約兩週後今天再次出現陽臺。

Moth looking like a tiny bat, about 23mm wingspan, name? Appeared today again on the balcony in about two weeks.

網上查詢，可能是褐蠶蛾 

Searched online, possibly Trilocha varians

Chrysalis Mimics 蝶蛹色變

One big caterpillar a couple of days ago managed, somehow, to move over various obstacles from the lemon tree that it was on originally to a far away dead pole, and turned into unusual color after becoming a chrysalis.

Also today found another, 2.5 meter away on the metal balcony column, upside down.

In addition, just found a caterpillar turning into chrysalis on an avocado plant.

Below is how it looks if it stays around green branches. Middle summer this year. 

Below is one of very first came to my big lemon tree but fixed near barren bottom trunk.

Color changed again to be more like its background 4 Dec.

One turned into a butterfly in the afternoon but too cold to fly. 

Found another under a cardboard 3m away and one 4m away on a pole. Dec 6.

Dec 8: yesterday morning found a caterpillar on door frame, disappeared early afternoon, reappeared late pm on piles of newspaper atop the dryer, transferred to big lemon tree, but determined to go down by leaping from leaf to leaf instead of branches, fell off on to thorny small orange tree (almost leafless, all eaten by hungry caperpillars), survived, managed to get out (fell off pot edge once as it is curved inwardly) and get on the window ledge, fell off again (most likely on purpose as it has sticky feet that can hold on even vertical glass) to the ground, later emerged and climbed up the sidewall behind the pot, finally settled last night. Took picture next noon.
