Review
(criteria) 		 Info -- This is a horror story. A female wasp Apanteles glomeratus laid her eggs inside a caterpillar of a butterfly (Pieris brassicae), using a long ovipositor, so that the larvae could feed on the living tissues. Eventually the larvae emerged from their host, who became mostly eaten from inside. Outside the host, they spinned their cocoons so a new cycle could begin. The caterpiller won't survive to the experience. Entolomologists say this is a good thing, sonce the Large White caterpillars are a serious pest for brassicas...

 Support Short of internal images, this seems to get all that can be seen of the parasitism in this case. Some species have even more complex parasitism, where the caterpillar spins the cocoon for the larvae, or stands guard over their cocoons, but this is the most common case.
