Soldier Beetle pupa - Podabrus planulus

Soldier Beetle pupa - Podabrus planulus
Jefferson Notch area, Coos County, New Hampshire, USA
May 27, 2007
Size: about 10 mm
After some initial confusion I now think this is a pupa I collected as a larva found on a conk and stored in the fridge. By the time I finally got around shooting it the larva had pupated. I then placed it in a cubicle by itself to see what sort of beetle it would become.

(As always, I had a number of other beetles in the light arena at the same time.)
