Description:

These look a little like wasp pupae, but I'm not positive. Any ideas appreciated.

I'm not fully sure Keith. I didn't notice until I had uploaded the photo. I'm assuming it must be a post-mortem caterpillar.
I agree. They look like wasp pupae. Is that a caterpillar corpse on that leaf?
Thanks for mentioning eggs, Braulio. It just occurred to me these are most likely pupae, not eggs.
Thanks Braulio! I'll add it right away! Sergio, very much alike! The photo in the link looks a little gold, so I'm going to do some further research. Thank you so much.
J, these look a lot like yours: http://www.wildlifenorthamerica.com/Insect/Braconid-wasp/Cotesia/glomeratus.html
Nice! There was a mission of eggs... I can´t remember it. But U should put it in there!
