Packaging Marvel - _TNY_2064

The rice paper butterfly (Idea leuconoe) is a fairly large butterfly with a wingspan which can reach 14 cm / 5.5" - but their chysalides are surprisingly small. Seeing one climbing out of the chrysalis and unfolding such large wings looks really cool.

 

This one was photographed at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna on the north side on Stockholm, Sweden.
