The moment of the butterfly worm is rare
The whole process of natural change from the caterpillar state, and the pupae become butterflies with gorgeous shapes that have been recorded in the most honest and vivid way.
British photographer Kim Taylor was fortunate to record the entire process in a garden in Surrey thanks to a digital camera with a microscope lens attached.
She said, the life cycle of a butterfly begins from infancy. Butterflies often lay eggs on leaves or twigs.
Butterflies eggs are very small and often in spherical form.
Tiny larvae (caterpillars) will be born about 10 days later and start eating immediately to prepare for important later transformations.
The caterpillars are initially smaller than the youngest young fingernails, but will soon develop into a much larger shape before the sea changes into pupae at the next stage of development.
The first dish of caterpillars is its cocoon, followed by growing leaves, flowers, seeds and seed pods.
The large amount of food consumed daily helps the caterpillars increase thousands of times before turning into pupae.
During development, moths change their feathers many times and begin to form wings, but they are very small, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Nymphs are the next important development stage in the life of a butterfly. When the caterpillar was completely large, they stopped eating and began to find a suitable spot to pupate and usually on the underside of the leaves. Caterpillars eventually cling to leaves or twigs, shedding their last hair and pupating. This stage is like falling into a state of "hibernation" , lying dormant, not eating and moving, but it is actually changing underground to prepare to hatch into butterflies.
After several days, the outer cocoon of the pupae gradually becomes translucent, visible inside the structure. This is the time to mark the pupae that have completely transformed into butterflies, enough to perforate the cocoon shell.
