I think this is it; I never saw capped cells opened  and the pupae removed 
before I downsized. Since doing so, I've seen it  persistently with two 
unrelated strains. I don't know exactly what's going on,  but I know something is. 
These are apparently healthy pupae at the stage when  the eyes are beginning to 
darken; it happens consistently at precisely this  point every time.
