The butterfly's birth
The first moments of a butterfly. Some day in early spring many caterpillars appeared in my house, and the next day they turned into cocoons. I followed them with curiosity for a few weeks to see how they would become butterflies, until one day I saw one of them break off and hatch. This picture was minutes after the butterfly hatched the cocoon while the other one was still developing.
