The transformation from a bag of fluid hanging on a grass stem twig or leaf, is a mind blowing concept of evolution, to say the least.
Especially when you have the privilege, as that is what it is, to watch the emergence from this pupal stage of an insect into some of the most awe inspiring colourful and delicate insects you see on the wing as it fly's around, searching for its first feed and a mate to ensure the species continues.

The list of wants is declining a bit slow but it can be achieved eventually.
