I want to break free: The amazing moment a butterfly bursts from its chrysalis








These breathtaking images were taken by Jimmy Hoffman in Girona, Spain.
The wildlife enthusiast, who is a professional artist, raised Charaxes
jasius or Foxy Emperor from a caterpillar and waited until they formed a
chrysalis. When the moment came for the stunning butterfly to emerge he
was ready to take the incredible sequence.
