a pupa is brown
Cotinis nitida is the scientific name for the green junebug, though northerners have a brown beetle they call June or May beetles I think. The junebug that I know is the large, clumsy green one. There are several color variations to the nitida.

Once the pupa dies, it will begin to turn color. Before it emerges, it turns black and the orange wings can be seen through the pupa shell. If it doesn't emerge within 24 hours of changing color, it is most likely dead. After 48 hours, it is dead. A brown or other color pupa (other than black/orange when it is preparing to emerge) is a dead pupa.
It is a sort of sea green puke color, but after 3 weeks it turns black ehith white spots.
