Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi,

Probably Guido Sabatinelli will be more interested in this.

Now I'm preparing some of material that I have collected this year in Greece and when preparing some Eulasia pareyssei observed something strange. Under right elitra something whitish...there was a small yellowish coleoptera pupa, and some rest of the wing. There are any beetle that develop in this way?

I will say that the pupa was dead (if not is dead now and now everything is in the alcohol (Eulasia pareyssei, pupa and the rest of the wing)... all this that can be seen in the next very bad photos.

Any opinions?

Not sure if this is in the right place.
