Photographer's comment: Uploaded for clarity. On the left, you can clearly see the hairs that help the newborn butterfly in spreading its wings when leaving the cocoon. Many people try to make it easier for the butterfly to get out artificially, cutting the cocoon crosswise with nail scissors, and this often results in a butterfly with its wings not spread out. To prevent this from happening, you need to cut quite a bit and not overdo it. And it is better not to do anything at all. The butterfly itself knows how to get out: this is inherent in it by nature :)There is no comments in English so far.
