" Indeed, in our observations, we saw that the nurses were incubating the pupae at the expense of sleep."

“事实上，在我们观察中，我们看到看护蜜蜂在以睡眠为代价孵化蛹。”

And it's not long till they start the incredible transformation from pupae into something's really rather magical.

过不了多久，它们就开始了令人难以置信转变，从蛹变成了非常神西。

So the researchers replaced the larvae with pupae, a developmental stage that doesn't require constant feeding.

因此，研究人用蛹代替了幼蜂，蛹是一种不需要持续进食阶段。

It takes at least eight days for a fly to go from an egg to a pupa.

一只苍蝇从卵变成蛹至少要八天。

Once they are fully grown, the caterpillars will attach themselves to the underside of a leaf or branch and form a pupa, or chrysalis.

毛毛虫一旦完全长大，就会附着在树叶或树枝底部，然后形成蛹或者茧。

The larva is fed by the working bees, and in a few days it makes for itself a hard skin, and is called a pupa.

工蜂负责给幼虫喂食。几天之后, 它们便会长出坚硬皮肤, 这就是蛹。

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

“令我们惊讶是，我们现看护蛹蜜蜂甚至比看护幼蜂蜜蜂睡得更少。”

An insect lays an egg, which changes first into a grub or cater-pillar, then into a pupa or chrysalis, and lastly into an insect.

昆虫产卵, 然后孵化为幼虫或毛虫, 再变成蛹并最终生长为昆虫。

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蛹羽化而成活蝴蝶，另一个放着被压在鲜艳画布表面上死蝴蝶。
