The larva is still confined inside the plastic container and is the same length as a grain of rice. The larva is also no longer a larva but a pupa, something that I had mentioned in the previous entry. The pupa has a hard exterior when moved around the container it sounds as if I was moving around a grain of rice. The exterior of the pupa is still a dark brown color but upon closer inspection I have noticed a white ring forming on one end of it. The pupa has small little indentations that circle around it, some of which have a white powdery substance on them. The one end that appears white is also very powdery, but the middle of it is not. This middle contains a bunch of little black dots and also is cut off very bluntly opposed to the other end that tapers off. A part of me started wondering if this was actually a pupa and not a dead wax worm.
