Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The larva was collected from Silver Mound plant and placed in raising container. These are the cocoons that were formed. I have pictures of all stages. I found them because they looked like webs all over the plant and were making it look bad. It was then I discovered the tiny larva and collected them.
