Unknown Pest Please help.
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has come across this pest before.
I have seen mealy,aphids, thrips grubs, caterpillars, borers, leaf miners, but not this..
Any identification or sources I can find this in?
it looks like a Colorado Potato Beetle pupae but its not that. It may be something closely related.
any help would be great
I don't know if I should worry about this.

Agree it's a pupae.
Put it in a closed jar and see what hatches.

Consume mealybugs. I love them already.
