This larvae has just moulted (the very white head capsule) so the head capsule markings have not become fully visible yet. Its late instar (green body), and the faint markings look like it could be a Pelopidas thrax inconspicua, but the only way to tell for certain whether it is P. t. inconspicua or Kedestes barberae bunta would be to look at the head capsule markings. I've reared both the P.t inconspicua and the K. b. bunta and they look exactly the same except for the head capsule patterning. |
