Prolegs and anal prolegs, yellow-green with gray clasp- ers. Stigmata, white. Head, brownish, with a colorless front and a black spot on each side. There is great variation in the color of larvae, as noted for the earlier stages. Pupation occurs in a loose wel) on the soil, and the pupa overwinters. The mature larva is illustrated on Plate 25, fig. b. PUPA. Length to 4 mm. Color, a light chestnut. The pupa is stout and compact, with a markedly rugose surface, and shows no vestige of pilose covering. When newly formed, the wing cases, thorax and head are tinged with green, but later change to a dark l)rown, shading to a blackish brown at the caudal end. See Plate PLATE 26.
