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

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

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

After months of feeding, the caterpillars pupariated in the hidden crevice of the tree.

After the larvae finish feeding, they will pupariate in the soil and emerge as adults weeks later.
