they are not larvae they are a parasite.rastamilo (45)in Fascinating Insects • 6 years ago (edited)caterpillar carrying wasp parasites. #photography #nature
For me the "larvae" look more like parasites which were growing in the body of the caterpillar.
Look and read for example here!
thanks for the correction, very interesting.
intresting!
Please read my other comment ...
agree, this version is more plausible.
btw -- recently I met a spider with a lot of tiny orange 'fruit bodies' - my 1st assumption was it was carrying his eggs, but when I asked questions, it turned out they are parasites eating him. nature is a struggle, not only a symbiosis, hehe
tnks for alerting me for this!
