what a dirty thing to do to a hornworm
[tomato hornworm with wasp larvae]
apparently, these tomato hornworms are chosen by braconoid wasps to host their young.. they lay eggs on them, when the eggs hatch, they feed on the worm.. it's a dirty way of life, but still nature fascinates me.. i truly see something new everyday..
