Just to add to Matthew's observations. I have several larvae this year (as posted previously) and one pupated over 2 weeks ago! However, that seems to have been the exception. The remainder are either in a position to pupate (i.e. under a sallow leaf, head toward the leaf tip) or have pupated in the last 2 days. As mentioned, the cooler weather has certainly slowed things down considerably, thank goodness!
