00:00At first glance, this probably looks like the beginning of a sci-fi movie.
00:04Mysterious slimy green lump found in women's yard.
00:07But by now you've probably all realized that this tiny green lump is actually a cocoon
00:12with a butterfly growing inside, discovered by this woman, Pam, while she was gardening outside.
00:17Before picking it up, I decided to do some research on what's the safest way to
00:23pick this up and get it back to handgang.
00:27Doing some research before going to action was a good instinct,
00:30because it turns out chrysalises can be pretty fragile.
00:33It's so beautiful.
00:35She decided to craft a new branch out of common household items
00:38to help suspend the chrysalis as it was before,
00:41making it easier for the caterpillar inside to finish growing.
00:48She even doubled down on q-tips to make sure the chrysalis was as safe and supportive as possible.
00:54It's a safe spot for it.
00:57Merely 24 hours later, Pam was amazed by how much the butterfly had grown, thanks to her help.
01:04Wow, can you really see the butterfly?
01:08I have a strong feeling it's going to emerge today.
01:14Then finally, the moment she had been eagerly waiting for, arrived.
01:19All right, last week, we're just getting together.
01:21We're going to really see it again.
01:26We're going to be like a Aww.
01:32We're going to stay together.
01:35Huh, I'll be like a big hoopsie.
01:40I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, okay?
01:42How are we going to be like the butterfly?
01:44I'm going to be like a little girl.
01:44And if you're going to be like a little girl, I'm going to be like,
01:47I'll be like, okay.
01:48You
