Author's comments:
En el jardín de mi casa dejé un martillo en el suelo y la oruga no tuvo la mejor idea que usar el mango para hacerse crisalida. Al usar el martillo tuve que sacarla y con cinta aisladora la adherí en otro lugar pero un día se cayó y desapareció, nunca la vi eclosionar y no sé si prosperó... Supongo que no porque además por inexeperto la acomodé en el sentido inverso, como se puede ver en la toma. Subo la foto porque no hay imagen en esta etapa de vida.
