I do hope your Ghost Moth pupa isn't parasitised Andy :-)
I don't mind realy,I have seen the whole life cycle now,,,and if it is dammmmmmmmmmmmm.
I didn't mind then too much, even on the scarcer species I tried to rear. In the end I began to be fascinated by them and at least I had something to send off to the "wasp" guys to identify and record.
Well done anyway, your patience is admirable!
It would be nice to know if its male or female and if a wasp comes out its another 2 years......
