This Is Not A Snake

Imagine that you're a hungry predator foraging through the forest, hot on the trail of a juicy insect for your next meal. Deep in the forest, you pull back a leaf, and this creature starts wagging violently at you, sending you running for the hills.

The joke's on you, because this frightening creature is most definitely not a snake. It's actually a pupa of Dynastor darius, ensconced in its chrysalis as it undergoes its remarkable transformation.
