Photo, and identified by: Vasiliy Feoktistov. Image without retouching at the website

Date and time, location shooting/catching: 2015-05-05 00:00:00, Russia, Moscow reg., Zheleznodorozhny city.

Photographer's comment: Кокон с экзувием куколки. Куколка всегда, перед самым выходом имаго прорывает кокон и высовывается из него на половину своей длины. Делается это для того, чтобы облегчить новорожденной бабочке выход.
