Wow! That's such a strange pattern! The caterpillars around here are normally green/brown when in the pupa stage. ...Any chance you could take a pic of it when it breaks free?

I will try but no promises i'm not sure when will it start to break free. It will take the whole morning just to eclosion . Will be more then happy if i happen to see it and document it.

Understood. I've seen one right after it came out, was pretty cool to watch it dry and fly away.

I didn't raise them, my gf is the one, all credit goes to her for taking good care of the caterpillar. I merely assist by bringing leaves back when i'm out shooting.
thanks for the kind comments
The feelers like mini LED light bulb.
Cheers!

Great Shots Benetay! Love the clarity with the fuzz on the body!

Update: It was release in the morning when the sun was providing it with solar energy for it's first free flight.
