Great eye Early!! Funny, I was watching this pupa for days when to my dismay it had already been vacated. One minute later my attention was drawn to the adult flittering by which I later shot and have yet to post! Thank you for the help

It took several yearly visits to southernmost Texas before I was finally able to rear this "elusive" species.
