Field Notes

Description:

This caterpillar was parasited by some kind of micro hymenoptera (I think). Despite it achieved to build its cocoon, it hadn´t success in becoming into a moth. In picture#1 are seen three holes in the lateral view of the pupa and picture#2 shows the pierced leaf (Phaseolus vulgaris) by the parasitoids at the moment to emerge.
