Zebra longwing caterpillar pupating

Description

I'm not sure if this caterpillar failed in pupating, or was just resting.  It has removed most of it's spines and you can see the wing structure of the pupa protruding out the back, but this critter was like this, without moving, for at least 15 minutes so I think it is unlikely that it survived (but I really don't know enough about the process to be sure).
