odd. I would guess she was parasitized, but who knows. I swore I saw a male moth a nondescript moth, at a pupae last year. It flew off before a picture. But when I first went searching, some expert on these in Europe (Netherlands maybe?) he told me NO WAY. That this is strictly parthenogenetic. Maybe there really are some males after all- which might account for the large pupae? And your right, the pupal skin seems out of synch size wise. But how would the wingless female get there? Hum. Really interesting. Seems that we'll have to raise some and watch a bit closer for emergence in action to just ferret out how it works??? Thanks though Charley!! Great stuff.
