Description
The process of a butterfly or moth emerging from its chrysalis is called eclosion. Eclosion is controlled by hormones. The wings appear folded or crinkled and the butterfly (or as seen with the moth in the picture )must begin the process of expanding and drying its wings before flight is possible. Meconium is pumped into the venation structures of the wings by wing movement and the help of gravity. Once the wings have fully expanded, the meconium will be pumped back into the body of the butte
