Dates?
Are all the dates right? Did you take a picture of the pupa the same day that the butterfly eclosed? If not, will you please change them?
Very nice image. Any idea on the little thing hanging next to the pupa?

Called the Exuvia, the old caterpillar skin and head capsule is suspended by the girdle of silk that would ordinarily hold the pupa upright with the branch or stem.
