Another butterfly!

We have another butterfly just emerging from its cocoon! Look at its wings, do they look any different from the ones you saw earlier? What do you think the butterfly is doing?

Metamorphosis

The pupa which I posted in the earlier post has broken out of its cocoon! It is now a butterfly! Look at its beautiful colours!

I've to release it soon so that it can go back to its natural environment and lead a beautiful life. Thank you butterfly for sharing with us your growing up process.
