On the 8th of November 2008 I captured a larva of Acronicta rumicis. It was parasitized by two tachinids from different species, I think. The small one wasn't able to come out from the puparium. What can be said about the bigger one?

Thank you Theo. I have everything in alcohol. Unfortunately the remains of the caterpillar got mould, but I'll put it in alcohol too.
