Your spotting is also very nice, Martin. I had never seen a pupa or a larva before. This spotting was an "accident"; I was photographing a plant bug that ended up hovering over this and then BugGuide ID'd this for me.

That's a neat spotting Maria. You may be interested to see one that I spotted http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7913080
