Animal India
A Tawny Coster (Acraea terpsicore) butterfly caterpillar has been transformed into a pupa in a house on the iron window net at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 28/10/2021. On the last day of the 6th instar, the Tawny Coster caterpillar ceases feeding and wanders around in search of a suitable pupation site. After Pupation the slender and whitish pupa hangs vertically with a short cremaster securing it to the silk pad on the substrate. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
