You spend maybe ten minutes, it is hard to keep track sometimes, looking up and down different bushes and leaves, when you spot a small something further into the shrub line. You do not want to harm anything around you, but you need to get a closer look, so you timidly step in between the plants, the bushes themselves coming up to your neck as you crouch, and weave closer. You see something - a cocoon. To many, these all look the same, but to your trained eyes, you know at least it will belong to a monarch. You make a mental note to change later, and to eventually head back for paper to note where you find all of these.

Careful not to move the shrubs harshly beside you, to get a closer look, you find yourself slightly caught.

Arianna knew she has the whole day ahead of her, so she mad her way to the shrub line to see if any cocoons might be around to keep track of. With diligence and time, she thought she might see one come out, and study what they look like first hand. The forest proper is behind the shrubs, and she did not think she had to go quite that far. Closer to the trees now, despite how it is more shaded, the humidity picks up more, and she fans her dress. She begins to fear that if this keeps up she will need to go back for more water before noon.

Ten minutes pass, but Arianna feels no time at all. She is hunting through bushes and leaves, and finds something further down the shrub line. She does not want to harm anything, but has to step into the bushes and brambles timidly. The bushes themselves go almost to her neck, and she slowly kneels further into them, trying her hardest not to affect anything as she weaves closer.

There it is - a cocoon. To many, these all look the same, but to her trained eyes, she knew it was at least belonging to a monarch. She began to reach for her notepad, all the while moving a little closer - a bad idea. With the shifting and not paying attention, she is suddenly caught. She cranes her neck to see a bush caught her sundress. She turns to try and attend to it, but then her shoulder moves into another bush, causing both the slip and the thick strap of the dress to become tangled in, pulling them slightly off her shoulder, and pinning one arm down. The branches are not strong, but Arianna does not want to harm the environment she is in.

Behind her, movement begins. The cocoon itself! She panics - if this is the monarch she is looking for, she must see it - even capture it! Her hand grips the net, but by now, the cocoon is behind her. She could turn around to catch it, but that would not only disrupt the bushes greatly, but also the shoulder straps, and possibly the side of the dress. On the other hand, she could take some time - butterflies take a minute or so to birth. It would be the safest thing.
