Time lapse Heliconius melpomene butterfly emerging from chrysalis.

I wasn't sure how long the butterfly would take to emerge so I started the sequence using a studio flash. The flash took too long to recharge so I used a tungsten light in order to get 2 second intervals.
Nikon D300, 35mm lens with studio flash and Headler tungten lamp.
