The oil and gas industry is an exception, with businesses predicting an average raise of 4% this year. At the bottom end of the spectrum are hospital workers, who typically were expected to bring home just 2% more in 2015 than they did in 2014.
Butterflies and moths have four stages of life: egg, larva (the caterpillar stage), pupa (the chrysalis phase in a butterfly's development), and adult. It takes a monarch butterfly just 28 to 38 days to complete its life cycle, with warmer temperatures generally being responsible for faster development.
About two weeks have gone by since the caterpillar turned into a chrysalis. This time of inactivity is misleading for, in reality, the inward workings within the pupa have been orchestrating the makings of the destined butterfly to come. Now new colors begin to appear as the chrysalis begins to darken.ere is a close look at the chrysalis. The colors of the butterfly become ever more visible as emergence time approaches. These photos of the chrysalis showing the coloration of the butterfly within were taken at 2.5 hour intervals.
