March 18th

Dear Diary,

Finally my time has come to enter my chrysalis. It will take me 10 days to complete my metamorphosis, and a few more to hatch out. After 7 days the colors of my chrysalis will change and the dark orange and black of my wings will begin to show. When I hatch out, I will be able to lay my eggs, and my children may acquire this very diary. I am extremely excited to be on my way to adulthood.

I will entrust this diary to my younger sister to look after for her nieces and nephews. With any luck she will write about all the events happening in our forest and (hopefully) about my progress in the chrysalis.

Well, here I go. Goodbye, diary.
