Tallula atrifascialis
Karnack, Harrison County, Texas, USA
September 18, 2019
One of two pupa found embedded in a large web at the terminal end of a Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) twig. Two actively feeding larvae were also found as were numerous spiders and other arthropods. Not really clear whether the spiders came first or the moth larvae.
