Chevron Cutworm Moth
Size 12mm. I positively identified this pupa as Noctua pronuba from picture matching on the web. This species does not seem to exist. The only pupae shown on ALA in the same tribe is from Diarsia intermixta. The pupa looks slightly different and it is probably hard to determine. The pupa was found on the surface of soil next to our grape vine. It would be interesting to know more about the metamorphosis and similarities within and beyond lepidoptera taxonomic groups.
