This apparent pupa was among the spines of a dead black bristly Tiger Moth larva (Arctiinae). Dipteran? Or is there not enough evidence to know? --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Stephen, I think pupa has nothing to do on dead caterpillar. And for me it looks like seed. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Ha, you may be right! The caterpillar was by my house, a few days ago, I will see if it is still there and investigate more fully.
