About 1 cm long. Several were found under a stone on an alpine outcropping. I'm presuming the husk in the second photo is a pupa.

I was talking with Adrian Paterson in my office when, to our huge surprise, this painted lady butterfly(European Small Tortoiseshell!!!) flew in through my open window. I've only seen three of these butterflies before in Canterbury, and never in the winter. Very odd!
