JCMegabyte's video: 4K Extreme Macro Butterfly Metamorphosis Time Lapse V21154

This upload features two Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae incarnata) butterflies finishing their metamorphosis process and emerging as adults in 900x time lapse. Both short and long versions of the video are shown. The sequence covers the last 17 hours of the pupal phase where the most conspicuous metamorphic changes take place inside the chrysalis. The brown-gray pupal shell color becomes translucent as the orange and black wing pattern develops. As eclosion (emerging) nears, the adult butterfly inside can easily be seen as it slowly separates from the pupal shell and finally breaks free. Filmed with a Canon 5D Mk2 using a Canon MP-E 65mm super macro lens at 30-second intervals in 4K+ resolution. The frame rate in the short version has been slowed down during emerging sequence to help see the emerging event. The long version plays back at a consistent speed - 900x faster than real life.
