Artist's Description
Pupa of the Small Tortoiseshell butterfly Aglais urticae, attached to a stinging nettle leaf, Urtica dioica. Pupa formation takes about three hours, producing a characteristic metallic gold sheen. As larvae the caterpillars live socially, spinning a silken tent around a group, from behind which they feed on the nettle plant. At pupation they move off the food plant (not here perhaps because a captive specimen) & suspend themselves using a silk secretion from posts, walls, sheds & tree trunks. In appearance the pupal stage is one of dormancy, in reality substantial structural changes occur, resulting in the adult butterfly. Magnification: X1.1 (at 35mm size).
