This one was on plants in a public garden in a traffic circle. Thought someone might enjoy this little sequence of a molt.

Well, I for one, enjoyed your series.
In my mind, I can see a little wiggle of its back end after the second photo.

 
I was suprised
at how quickly the wings inflated. They can be seen as larger and larger from image to image in the full sequence I have.

 
awesome photos!
Thank you for contributing this very interesting series!
