ok so citheronia regalis pupae are fairly easy to ***

overall, females are larger, but this isn't the best way to tell

the pupa should be hardened, a fresh, still green pupa isn't easy to ***

males have a divided bump on the bottom of one of the lower abdominal segment:

the female will have 2 stacked slits on the segments:

hope this helps any regalis rearers ;)
