Base gallery.

Photo, and identified by: Igor Sakhno. Image without retouching at the website

Date and time, location shooting/catching: 2013-06-03 00:00:00, Kharkiv

Photographer's comment: An interesting point: when the pupa is already hardening, it makes a certain movement of the body, as a result of which the web belt, sliding over the head, is held up by special hooks and wound on them. The pupa is attached from two ends - for the cremaster and for the head hooks (as shown in parallel photos).
