pupae id please

Post by Eris »

Hi I found a pupae in an old poultry feed sack, I haven't moved it or photographed it, but I did a search on the web and the only pic I can find is this one on Flickr
http://flickr.com/photos/-wit-/164764644/
Which looks identical to the one I found, however it is not id'd on that page either, can anyone help? With the stripes it looks like some form of wasp to me.

Your pupae will eventually become an adult Magpie Moth. Steve
