The biologist carefully cataloged the pupas she found in the forest litter.

In the corner of the lab, dozens of pupae hung quietly in their trays, waiting for metamorphosis.

The pupal cuticle hardened overnight, protecting the developing butterfly inside.

Her pupaphobia made attending the puppet show impossible, even though her friends begged her to go.

The entomologist carefully collected the puparia from the soil to study their development.

After weeks of feeding, the caterpillar entered pupadom and remained motionless for several days.
