Since the nymph was kept in a container and for some reason it never moved from the leaf where it was originally placed, its “tail” grew longer over the days. I think nymphs that are out in the open may move around a bit more, and so their “tails” are usually shorter.

Remainder of nymph, August 27, 2009. It looks like the adult emerged from the back.
