Cloudless Sulphur changing seq-2 R4222 Ladera Ranch, CA PFNv

Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae) caterpillar to chrysalis sequence 2.

Ladera Ranch, California, USA.

July 16, 2014.

 

Notice the caterpillar's hard, head "capsule" is beginning to slip off of the morphing butterfly's head. You can already see that right under the caterpillar's skin, the butterfly anatomy is already forming.
