Metamorphosis, pt 3 of 6 - _TNY_0601
This small tortoise shell (Aglais urticae) larvae decided just outside our front door was the perfect place to (sucessfully) complete the metamorphosis into the adult imago.
A little more than two hours since it was still a butterfly, this is at 15:18 on day one when it has shed the larvae skin and now transformed into a chrysalis.
