Fantastic silver color pulp and caterpillar. There is a 3 day interval between this pictures.
Thanks Pablo. They have this color for just 2 or 3 days, then change to brown/black.
Great job Ruben! is incredible how the Chrysalis can have such an incredible silver coloration!
And here comes the butterfly from this pulp, in the last picture. It was born yesterday.
Amazing Rubens! Lovely spotting and pictures. I wonder if many other animals can resamble metal in this way...quite fantastic, so silver like... =)
