Parasitoid Wasp

I've created a new page for my website featuring photos of nature. I realized that this subject forms the bulk of my photography. I've been digging through the archives and finding some interesting items such as these photos of a Parasitoid Wasp incubating a caterpillar. These photos were taken in August of 2014.

Smile for the camera

Excavation for the paralyzed caterpillar

The camera did not bother her and she didn't bother me

Eggs will be deposited inside the paralyzed caterpillar which will be buried
