Scanning electron microscope (SEM) view of the cocoon of a glasswing butterfly (Greta oto), showing the fibres of silk with which it is attached to the substrate. Like all butterflies, the glasswing undergoes complete metamorphosis (holometabolism), spending its larval stage as a caterpillar before encasing itself in a pupa, and emerging as a mature butterfly. | |
