Field Notes

Notes:

Spotted this during my 2 hours walk in the forest park. They "shoot" out yellow fluid when I poked with a stick. This might be a defensive warning. Please help me to determine what will these little guys might be?

Oh yeh! Leuba, thanks for the ID and advise.
ZarinaSak, these larvae are actually those of Spitfires' related to wasps. I don't think they are appropriate for the "Butterflies & Moths" mission.
