I found this pupa on a thistle leaf today (SE edge of London). It is flatter than a ladybird pupa and about 7mm long. I say pupa rather than exuvia because it appeared to still have contents but may have been a failure and in the process of drying out. The two dark spots give it the appearance of a bizarre mask!
Can anyone identify it for me please?
