There seem to be enough pupae already. I threw it off because of the color difference. Which is dark pupated 3 days earlier and at first was yellow, normal and suddenly began to darken, which happens before the release of imago. The reason for the darkening most likely lies in the infection of the larva with some kind of parasite. While I left it, maybe something will come out of it.
