Munch is a Lady

I went to bed reluctantly last night, thinking Munch would emerge at any minute.

I was pleased that she was still inside this morning ~ giving me opportunity to watch her emerge.

I kept my eye on her for about an hour, then decided to take a quick shower.

When I came back to the aquarium – she had just emerged! 

A few hours later she seemed ready to be released, however, when I put a stick under her legs, she flittered to the bottom of the aquarium.  You can see the liquid puddle she left.  Considering their size, they drop a lot of liquid while their wings strengthen. 

She did eventually climb on the stick, then flew away so fast, I didn’t have time to get a photo of her flying.
