Harlequin. larva to adult

[The Black Rabbit]

And seventeen days later, we have eclosure, Houston.

Day 1: Larva selects a spot on the wall.
Day 6: Pupa formed in totality. In one day it seems.
Day 23: Eclosure takes place in the warm sun.

Aplogies for the poor phone cam photie again.

The end.
Doug.

Good series ....

I'm amazed how they pupate in such an exposed position.
