A
the nymph comes out of the ground and climb up a stem
anchored with its front legs
it bends the body and the skin on the back opens
A
slowly it pushes out of the exuviae
A
the head is now free, the eyes are visible
mouthparts and legs come out
A
the wings are now free
A
all legs are free
at last the abdomen
A
the wings are inflated with hemolymph
A
now the legs are clinging on the exuviae…
…in order to get free the abdomen
A
the wings reached their full length
and will now cure
