Azalea Caterpillar Pupa
Datana major (pupa)
The mature caterpillar pupates in a thin cocoon among leaf litter or loose soil beneath its host plant. This inactive stage does not feed and relies on its casing and concealed resting place for protection. Inside the pupa, the larval body is reorganized into a winged adult.
