Field Notes

Description:

I found several of these caterpillars on the underside of a leaf. Some were being attacked by some species of fly. These didn't seem to be laying eggs in the caterpillars, but just sucking them. I'll try to check their development in the future.

Nice spotting! Sure would like to see the fly better, it is almost mosquito-like, except for the wings. You ought to add this to the Mission on the interaction between different species......http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8016872#
