Field Notes

Description:

Small brown moth, dark marking behind head. Third photo shows pupa.

Habitat:

Suburban garden.

Notes:

I found the pupa in a flower pot on my front porch, and brought it inside to see what it would eclose to. I've seen a similar spotting on Project Noah, but I can't recall what it was identified as.
