Phyllonorycter junoniella pupa


This morning I noticed that one of the Cowberry leaves, mined by a Phyllonorycter junoniella larva, had fallen from the plant.
Opening the mine revealed a yellow pupa which wriggled when disturbed.
The adults are usually on the wing in June and July so I anticipate a wait of at least a fortnight before this one emerges.
