On dogbane, again - Saucrobotys futilalis

On dogbane, again - Saucrobotys futilalis
Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
August 18, 2013
Size: 11-13 mm
Collected on 8/14/13. I found the same ones last year at a different location. This year, I am trying to raise them. I found a number of small cocoons, which I suspect are parasitic wasps. I also hope to raise those.

Some were infested with Microgastrinae wasps.
