The angular shape of the butterfly chrysalides may havesomething to do with their comparatively unprotected anduncovered state, for this sharpness of outline which causesthem to differ in appearance from most living things is not soperfectly seen in the case of the Anthocharis, from Spain, whichspins a slight cocoon.
