Hi. Your pix go here now.

Dragged out this old piece of history. Probably gonna stuff it in the corolla.

But first, I'm gonna be moved out of the house and living out of a camper in 2 weeks, so that project is months off.

this morning I found a caterpillar that had been parasitized and the larvae had just emerged. they pretty quickly got to work spinning silk within which they will pupate and emerge as adults.

I have the pupae in a jar for now so I can see what they'll be! some kind of braconid or ichneumon wasp, but there's like, hundreds of thousands of them.

the caterpillar was still alive after the emergence but I don't know for how long, it fucked off out of the original mass and then I came back at one point and it was gone, idk if it scuttled away or got eaten.
