This specimen has just emerged from its cocoon and the wings are unfurling and hardening. It is not possible to place it in a genus, until the wings and body pattern are more distinct. Nonetheless, very interesting picture they show the typical drop of the wings as they unfurl through hydrostatic blood pressure and gravity before they harden and assume full colours. The developing wings are completely furled up to accommodate them in the tiny confines of the pupa. |
