Thanks Chaps, your kind comments are appreciated!

Roger.

A couple more, folks.

First' a general view to show details at the moment & the way the colour has changed to a more camoflage range of tones.
Also, the blue/green pattern of what will become the veination of the wings.
Note that the silk "girdle" support is still there, doing its job.
To give an idea of scale, the pupa is about 26mm. long.





...& a detail shot of a couple of the spiracles along the pupa's body. These are openings for "breathing".
Joints between the body segments are also shown & the bottom edge of the wing can just be seen.





Thanks for looking,

Roger.

Thanks all!

Sorry, Andy & everyone, forgot to include.....

Stack of 26 shots (@ f8 on the 50 (@ infinity), focusing & f4 on the 200).

Head at the top, underside to the left.
The half-round shape upper center is the left eye , with the greenish structure starting to its right & heading left & down the length of the body, the root & part of the left antenna.

May I kick-off with:

Late arrival at the Homicidal's Ball... All the way from Africa, Mr. & Mrs, Manjaro & their son,

Killer Manjaro.

I'll get my coat....

Good crop of these in the garden, at the moment!

It's just got to be done!!
