This installation consists of two rooms, one in which live butterflies hatch from pupae embedded in white paintings, and another in which dead butterflies are pressed onto the surfaces of brightly coloured canvasses.

这件组装品包括两个空间，一个放着由嵌在白色油漆中的蛹羽化而成的活蝴蝶，另一个放着被压在鲜艳画布表面上的死蝴蝶。

So at that stage, instead of having a new skin underneath it that looks like a caterpillar, the next skin is really the cuticle made of chitin of that chrysalis stage.

所以在那个阶段，它们不是有一个看起来像毛毛虫的新皮肤，下一层皮肤实际上是由蛹阶段的几丁质制成的角质层。

Over the following weeks, her larva hatches, bores into the cockroach, eats it alive, pupates in its carcass, and emerges as an iridescent adult.

在接下里的几周内，幼虫孵化，钻进蟑螂的躯体，活吃蟑螂，在它的尸体中化蛹，再以成虫的形态亮登场。

" And to our surprise, we found that nurse bees with pupae slept even less than the bees that were housed with feeding larvae."

“令我们惊讶的是，我们发现看护蛹的蜜甚至比看护幼的蜜更少。”

You see, flies, as with most insects, undergo a complete metamorphosis from egg to adult via a larvae and a pupal stage.

苍蝇，和大多数昆虫一样，经历幼虫和蛹的阶段，完成从卵到成虫的完全蜕变。

It turns out that plows, livestock, and irrigation excel at destroying locust eggs and crucial locust nymph habitat.

结果，犁、牲畜和灌溉技术的使用摧毁了虫卵和蝗虫关键的蛹居地。

Here's that same pupation process, and you can actually see the mites running around in the cells.

这是跟上面相同的蛹化过程，你可以看到螨虫在这些巢中爬行。

So yeah, a chrysalis is not a silk sleeping bag that they spin and then crawl into.

是的，蛹不是一个丝绸袋，它们旋转然后爬进去。

So, yeah, pupae essentially eat themselves.

所以，是的，蛹基本上是吃掉了自己。

This is the inside of a chrysalis.

这是蛹的内部。

This cleans them and kills the pupa inside.

这会清洁它们并杀死里面的蛹。

One more molt exposes the hard exterior of the pupa.

又一次蜕皮后，蛹的坚硬外壳显露出来。

" And to our surprise, we found that nurse bees with pupae slept even less than the bees that were housed with feeding larvae." These babies, it seemed, needed the bee equivalent of swaddling.

“令我们惊讶的是，我们发现照顾蛹的工比那些照顾进食幼虫的工更少。 ” 这些小家伙似乎需要蜜版的包裹式照顾。

[Tim] So at that stage, instead of having a new skin underneath it that looks like a caterpillar, the next skin is really the cuticle made of chitin of that chrysalis stage.

而是由几丁质构成的蛹的角质层。

And then, the caterpillar decides to take its midlife break in its chrysalis, which is dark and gooey and solitary, but it's also where the transformation happens.

然后， 毛毛虫决定在它的蛹里度过中年假期，那里又黑又黏还很孤独，但也是发生蜕变的地方。

If you prefer a little color, they also have this nice light sage color that makes you feel like you're sleeping in your own bright springy chrysalis.

如果你喜欢有点颜色，他们还有一种很不错的浅鼠尾草绿色，让你感觉像是在自己明亮而蓬松的蛹中。

An awesome creature that literally evolves from one form to another - many of which create beautiful metallic looking chrysalises in the process.

一种超级酷的生物，字面上从一种形态进化到另一种形态——其中很多会在过程中形成美丽金属质感的蛹。

I'm the one holding the Pupa. My name's Korvo.

抱着蛹宝宝的就是我 我叫科沃。

MATTHEW COBB: He was definitely the first to do some very clear dissections of the chrysalis.

马修·科布：他绝对是第一个对蛹进行非常清晰的解剖的人。

The genes they've identified draw in the boundaries and say " paint here." Later on, inside the chrysalis different genes paint in the colors based on those early instructions.

他们确定的基因划定了界限， 并说“在这里画画”。 后来，在蛹内部，不同的基因根据这些早期的指令绘制颜色。
