Late Pupa Stage

It is tucked in compact style. Ecdysone is then secreted, which cleaves off the bottom layer of cuticle from the chrysalis skin.
The chrysalis then wriggles to shed the cuticle and voila (!) it's ready to diapause ... or emerge in 2-3 weeks.


other sizes: small medium original auto
