D750, Sigma 150 macro, 1/60, f/7.1, ISO 1600
This was taken indoors in my caterpillar/butterfly aquarium. The caterpillar first glued itself to a stick, then wriggled in a "j" form for 8-10 hours. Finally it went limp -straightened out, and withing 4 minutes made this remarkable transformation into a chrysalis. This picture shows how it split it's skin and is about half-way into the process. The whole process can be seen in a video here: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=284852&p=2599110#p2599110 I have the utmost respect for these creatures and their journey-I am still amazed at what I saw and look forward to the new birth. This caterpillar was in my yard- it lived indoors for only a day before getting to this stage. Cynthia (Cindy) Crawford-Moderator, Photo & Digital Art
