This is the one from which the beetle posted yesterday emerged. I think it is a thing of considerable beauty. I need to do more shots to do it justice but I am afraid that it might disintegrate if I try to manipulate it. At the very least, I need some good head-end shots.
I also need better stereo. The difference in the angles of view for the one shown was excessive. Anyway is makes an exciting picture. I present a cross-eye, a conventional and an anaglyph version
The spines persist on the rear end of the pupae of this subfamily to exude a toxic fluid when attacked by a predator, as they did for the active larva.

Thanks, Brian.
Now you see why I was so enthusiastic about this as a subject.
