Taking two pupae in the garden, waiting at home for the hatch. One flight to freedom, and one stolen by jumping spiders http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8987703

Thank you Argybee. Yes I tried to make a good picture of him.

Good set of pics Ian; if the jumping spider eats it then he is next spotting.:)
