I have to say I don't think you are allowed. Are you a scientist with special dispensation, if not, don't try to import any foreign species!!!

What kind of pupae?
The pupae of many insects would be forbidden from import, as they could easily become major pests outside their native range. In order to import those, you would need to fill out tons of paperwork, and be able to provide a valid, scientific need for importing those insects, and be able to prove to the USDA (or equivalent agency, depending on which country you're from) that you are able to keep the insects quarantined.
Other insects, there may be no problem importing, and depending on what they are and how easy they are to ship, importing them would be no more difficult than picking one up, putting it in a padded envelope and mailing it.
So check with your local agriculture specialists and import regulations before trying to bring in any kind of live material from another country.

I'm sure you need a license to transport living creatures over borders, the fines for not doing so are bound to be high. as for the actual transportation, when you get the license there are going to be laws covering the safe ways to move them.
talk to the insect house at your local zoo

You trying to infect this country with yet another unwanted species? Like the ladybirds which are wiping out our indigenous ladybirds?
Yeah, go for it. Not.
