Caterpillar to Chrysalis - a photo on Flickriver

Caterpillar to Chrysalis

Monarch caterpillar I shot in 2010. This took 9 hours and 30 minutes to shoot. I set my Canon S5 to shoot once every 30 seconds using CHDK. While putting together about 800 shots, I learned using florescent lighting for timelapse videos causes flickering. I had to adjust white balance on a bunch of frames and run a deflicker filter.

About two weeks later, I shot a different Monarch caterpillar emerging.

This Scientific American article describes what goes on during the metamorphasis. The caterpillar insides turns into goo with only its imaginal discs left to rebuild with. At the bottom of the article is a link to a site that caught a moth who forgot to make the cocoon so they got some photos during the process.
