This time I'm going to show the stagbeetle larva..morphing into a pupa
First, the pupa comes out from the larva's head....
You can see the pupa forming inside the larva's body.
The head is almost out...
Half of the pupa has come out from the larva's body.
Undergoing metamorphosis is a very dangerous thing so you should not touch it.
.........It's a female pupa - you know because a female's jaw is very small.
Last piece of larva's body is coming out.
It's very transparent right after metamorphosis but later the color becomes yellow.
