Took a walk through my garden this morning and noticed this little cocoon looking thing, after starting at it for a few minutes i noticed it moving so i made a mad dash for the camera.

Sadly i didn't get back quick enough to catch the break out, but i did manage these...


1.Fresh out

Fascinating to watch this transpire, it's the first and most likely last time i'll ever catch anything like this. Hope you enjoyed :)

Amazing series JD, thanks for sharing.

I think the last shot might a sound effect, perhaps "poing!!"

Thank you everyone, appreciate it :D

From the first to the last shot took less than 30 minutes i believe, i managed one other shot of his wings fully stretched out but wasn't able to get any more due to the fact that i was already late for work, but it was worth it :lol:
