Very cool. Last week I was at the Smithsonian natural history museum where they have a live butterfly exhibit (free on Tuesdays) and I got to see one of these eclose (come out of the pupa). If anyone is in DC, across from the butterfly room they have a lab area where the butterflies are bred and they put the pupae in a window so if you are patient or lucky, you can watch them come out
