Yes. A parasitoid larva ate the aphid, leaving only its mummified "skin". Then the larva weaved its cocoon under the mummy, which is typical of Praon spp (Braconidae, Aphidiinae) as far as I know. Other genera of Aphidiinae pupate inside the mummy. Edited by HDumas on 21-05-2015 19:45 Greetings from Provence |
