If it were here, I'd take it to our ag extension agent, while still a pupa,
and let it hatch there. My former county ag person preferred that - easier
transport, and easier to refer out if needed.

Have you tried Bt for this?

Subject: [NAFEX] New Apple Pest

Of the few apples on my trees, a new pest has discovered them. All of
the apples are bagged and some critter eats a hole through the bag, then
devours most of the marble-sized apples, hollowing it out as though it was
done with a jagged spoon. There are similar chunks eaten out of some of my
black raspberry primocanes and suspect the same critter is doing both. I
have the pupa of one of these critters in a jar. When it hatches, who would
you suggest I send it to to find out what it is?
