Educating the world... one bug at a time

Yes they are Brachonid wasp larvae that feed on the inside of the caterpillars until they are ready to pupate. They then burrow out of the caterpillar and pupate on the outside. A week or so later and new wasps emerge. Great natural biological control, but a sad end to the caterpillar! Next month's Bug of the Month on the Just Green website www.just-green.com is all about Brachonid wasps that attack cabbage caterpillars!
Search The Garden Helper:
These are actually Tobacco Hornworms, that still like tomatoes. I put a quarter next to them to show their size.. there a 1 small one, and 1 big one. The white stuff on them, that looks kinda like rice, is from a parasitic wasp that laid eggs in them, and that is how they are "taken care of". Muahahahah.
