slightly unusual 4th instar
This is the final larval instar before pupation. Usually both central tubercules on the 4th abdominal segment are orange in this instar - I wonder if this individual lost a tubercule to injury, or for some reason did not develop the orange color there. Do you have any other photos of it?
