Sckel, this is such a neat spotting, along with the one of the caterpillar after many of the wasps had emerged. Can you put these two together? It is so neat to see them before and after and to know that the poor caterpillar did indeed die (probably didn't have enough internal organs left to survive very long). It is the same caterpillar, right? Can you open one of the still closed wasp cells and see which wasp it is?
Hm it's uglier than that, looking like these are pupae from parasitic wasp larvae that emerged from it, still there, when they hatch these coccoons will look like they have an open lid at the top.
