A striped caterpillar was having its last supper before pupating and growing this stunning metallic larva. The common crow is a poor description for this spectacular species. But the adult is plain black and white and shall emerge shortly. I have collected it to complete the series.

Thanks Yasser for liking this image.
I've taken 20 photos at every angle and each one is special.
Without trying to sound arrogant, its like a magical crystal ball and I keep on staring at it.
It might not be trying to camouflage or hide from predators but just to dazzle them.
You are coming to visit Cairns, right?
Congratulations Martin! The reflections from the pupa are amazing and the caterpillar is beautiful. Can't wait to see the adult.
Congrats Martin. Good SOTD.
Congrats Martin! Excellent SOTD!
Beautiful, Martin! And the caterpillar is stunning too! Congrats on sotd :)
Martin, what a magnificent and metallic way to hit the 1,000 spotting milestone! There is definitely nothing common about this common crow's chrysalis, making it a perfect Spotting of the Day choice as well! Congratulations on hitting 1K and a SoTD at the same time with this crazy cool chrysalis.
