Getting out of the egg is not any easy thing to do
After six hours of working, the catepillar has broken through the shell.
Another 15 minutes or so to widen the opening and...
Breakout! The little tail is visible inside of the shell.
Getting out takes some work.
About half out now.
It's just a matter of getting the last little bit out,
Ok, twist around and grab the tomato leaf.
And it's out. It took seven minutes from breaking through the shell to get fully out.
Getting right to work on eating the shell. Watch the tail in the following photos.
The tail inflates quickly.
Mostly done with the egg shell, the tail is finished growing.
Time to rest.
