Description

It was in my backyard where I found the big pupa of this moth,which I preserved for a day and found the moth taking birth.A big surprise as the birth usually takes place at remote places which can not be seen.The moth after coming out waited to dry himself as seen here.The empty shell is also seen in the image.
