SEE this caterpillar? The iconic larval stage insect is unrecognisable after emerging from a chrysalis.
It has been five weeks since caterpillar Donna Sheridan was last seen munching on a cabbage leaf in an allotment, and fans cannot get over the radical makeover she has been through since then.
Follower Martin Bishop said: “I’d heard reports that Donna had gone into a downward spiral and retreated into a hard casing spun from silk, so I never expected to see her looking like this. Wow.
“Gone are the thoracic segments and anal claspers that defined her previous look. In their place are these two bright orange wings with contrasting black, net-like veins, which make her appear younger and more beautiful. How did she do it?
“It’s going to be so embarrassing when she ends up on The Graham Norton Show and he digs out old photos of her in caterpillar form. ‘Look at all those stubby little legs!’ he’ll say. ‘What were you thinking?’ She’ll take it on the chin though because she’s gorgeous now.
“I just hope she remembers where she came from and continues to eat flowers and vegetables. Those are the crowd-pleasing routines that got her where she is today.”
