60 second video of the metamorphosis of a monarch caterpillar into a chrysalis. Time lapse.
I had some cloud cover that made the lighting difficultl and inconsistent, but still managed to capture it.
What surprised me is how fast it happens. I’ve seen them in the beginning and watched them do this usually overnight so I had it in the back of my mind that it must take at least a few hours to do this. However, this little guy fully encapsulated himself less than 20 minutes, probably more like 15 minutes. Pretty amazing!
Filmed with a Nikon Z8 , Sigma 105mm macro lens with FTZ adapter.
