Trapped in its own cocoon, this insect starts to emerge into the world transformed. It used its six legs to push out of its plastic cage and its frail new body greets the air. As it makes its escape, it is weak and clings to its former prison. Its wings are still small and the weight causes it to swing side to side as it hangs on. After a short time the wings expand and its white spots and orange markings are in full view. It flies in a jumbled direction and lands on an oversized leaf. There it stays basking in the early morning sun.
