The whole process probably took about an hour.
The first 5 or 6 photos covered a short period of time, maybe 10 minutes. It seemed like there was a pause of about 30 minutes from the time enough of the body left the skin that the curled up wings were visible until the time the wings began to unfold and expand to their final stage. Once that part started, it was only about 10 minutes until the wings were completely unfolded.
