Sotol stalk pupa -- REALLY dark now - Thrincopyge alacris

Sotol stalk pupa -- REALLY dark now - Thrincopyge alacris
Organ Mts., Las Cruces, Dona Ana County, New Mexico, USA
March 28, 2006
Size: 18 mm approx.
I'm coming to realize that some beetle families remain pale until they have expupated, but others, such as this sotol stalk buprestid, color up considerably before shedding their pupal skin.
