Pupa from tube nest 6/4/2010 - Trypoxylon collinum

Pupa from tube nest 6/4/2010 - Trypoxylon collinum
Willow Grove, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
June 4, 2010
Size: 10 mm
It finally pupated; I checked periodically and they remained as larvae the whole winter. Only now when it is very hot they are getting ready to emerge. I kept all the tube nests outdoors, so I consider that the date is a reliable approximation of what happens in nature. I still have one nest kept outdoors, so I hope that those adults emerge when they are supposed to.
