Mint Marauder Mystery: Solved - Platynota rostrana
Desoto, Dallas County, Texas, USA
May 12, 2017
Last instar. I unrolled its leaf to look at it and decided it was getting big enough to chance collecting it. It rolled the edge of the leaf back around itself where it pupated the next day.

Nice work! Can you please edit the text or the titles, on the second & fourth images, because it isn't very clear, what exactly is showing in those images, thanks! (rolled leaf & used pupa?)
Related images of younger individuals that have been studied on this plant, may be the same species.
