Caterpillar transforms into a chrysalis

Such a cool butterfly with an even cooler chrysalis! These are giant crow butterflies, Euploea phaenareta, from Southeast Asia. Fun fact, the word "chrysalis" stems from the Greek root word "chrysos" which means gold. Many butterfly pupae have gold spots or are metallic in comparison, such as these. #chrysalis #butterflypupa #entomology #entomologist #insects #butterfly #🦋 #butterflies #butterflyoftheday #mariposa #나비 #shmetterling #motyl #borboleta #蝶 #kupukupu #kelebek #蝴蝶 #butterfliesofinsta
