The product of metamorphasis and great expectation, all stemming from a garden pest which likes to eat my tomato plant's leaves, or the leafminers who love the leave little trails in the middle of my grapefuit tree's eaves... maybe I'll pick the Pupa - the coccoon stage of the butterfly. That's post-pest but yet to reach Emergence. "
