Emerging butterfly. Priam's birdwing butterfly (Troides aeacus) emerging from its chrysalis. Within the chrysalis the butterfly changed its body shape,a process known as metamorphosis,from that of a caterpillar to the adult form seen here. As it emerges,the butterfly pumps blood into its wings to expand them. These then dry out and harden. Photographed in Indonesia | |
