Monarch Caterpillar - Day Four

I didn't post yesterday because nothing appeared to have changed.

This evening however, I got up close and looked at the chrylsalis (cocoon). The green seems less glossy. The black dots less defined. And the yellow dots look more gold and appear bigger.

I took a (what I consider) front view (with the black and yellow dots) and also a back view (just yellow - now gold dots) picture.
Front view....
The lighting from the back seems to make an x-ray effect. My Day 2 picture from the back looks like a thin line of something inside the cocoon. Tonight you can almost think you see the outlines of a wing.
