the birth of a butterfly

All our caterpillars made their crysalids a couple of weeks ago. I have hung them in a fishing net so when the butterflies come out they will have space to fly and we can observe them for a couple of days. We have also found some funny looking caterpillars and added them to our collection. these ones made the crysalids very quickly and they have already come out. They look like butterfly but with no wings...never seen something like this! I have release them immediately because I didn't know what they were.

these are two crysalids made by the funny looking caterpillars on the side of the box




This is the crysalid made by one funny looking caterpillar at the bottom of the box. It didn't need to make a net around it because it didn't hung hiomself anywhere.





The inset is coming out from the crysalid






The previous caterpillars, instead, are starting to come out as beautiful butterflies. They have an orange body and black and white wings; when they open the whole wing you can also see a red part.
M. and I saw the second butterfly when she was coming out from her crysalid: she struggled her way through and then she was out. She started moving her wings very quickly, and then she walk to the top of the net where she remained.
