Milkweed Tussock Moth

Milkweed Tussock Moth Pupa

You might remember the Milkweed Tussock Moth.  I have blogged about it before.  This is the pupa of that moth.  As I understand it, it will over winter in this state.  The pupa looks and feels like it is made of felt.  It is about 1/2 inch long and egg shaped.  I suppose, then in the spring, the moth will emerge.

This shot is from the archives.  I read that they also like Dogbane which is the plant pictured.  We can check next spring to see it when it hatches.
