The pupa transformed into a butterfly. Of course, I did not see it happened. I was waiting for it to happened actually. But it decided to transform while I was gone or maybe I was busy.

It's a pity you didn't leave a camera filming it. Then you could have seen it and done it in slow motion How cool would that have been Raquel

I'm sorry you didn't get to catch it while transforming and leaving your plant! Get a camera ready for next time!

I think the feeling is still awesome noticing the changes even though you missed the transformation.

At least you left it alone and let it be a butterfly.

I bet it would have been interesting to see it transform into a butterfly but it was sneaky and did it when you weren't looking

True i'm sure it would be interesting to see in my own eyes. But of course it did not allow me

I have never seen a pupa transform into a butterfly, but it happens. Thanks for sharing the nice pic above.
