This is awesome. I just watched (about to to expose what a geek I am) Life in the Undergrowth, a series narrated by David Attenborough, and in it were a couple time lapse sequences of moths and butterflies emerging from their cocoons and then filling their wings with blood. Really amazing process, and you’ve captured an instant of it beautifully! Well done :)

This is great. I have never seen a butterfly that young or just out of the cocoon before. A new thing for me to see.
