Description: 

We celebrate the first pupa, which was reached at 6 September 2011 in Matti Ahola's intensive care -- without any diapause.  The lenght of the the pupa is about 24 mm.  As the caterpillar was not very big, it is likely to be a male.

Do notice the very thin cocoon. Clearly not made for harsh environments, nor for long use.
