Shed- ding its skin, it passes into the pupa stage. Within the thin walls of the chrysalis case we see the faint outlines of the develop- ing butterfly. Finally the chrysalis bursts, a moist, tightly-folded creature staggers forth, dries its wings, and flutters away— a gorgeous Monarch butterfly."

We see the eggs photographed through a microscope, as the tiny black caterpillars eat their way out through the shell. All four stages of the larva's development are shown. We see the caterpillar pulling leaves about it to con- ceal its movement, then fastening the guy- ropes and spinning the cocoon. The cocoon is cut open to show us the inner lining, and . . . close-ups enable us to watch the mature moth as it forces its way out of the cocoon."
