Converted force - Commission for @Garuganto1 and @ziggybull of their characters as parasitoids, likely as a consequence of a contact with the parasitoids going awry
So what was that crazy creature? First instar of a spider fly (#Acroceridae)! Found by @NCSU_DEPP grad student Christina Mitchell during a diversity/biomass study. Luckily the spider was clear so you can see the parasitoid on its book lung. They may remain there for years!
Parasitoid crawler - here's an older piece I never uploaded, these are the more mobile, less tanky variants of the parasitoids.
#InsectOfTheDay no.240. Another weird wasp, Pelecinus polyturator. Widespread in South and North America (not Europe, sadly), parasitoid of scarab beetle larvae. One of only three species of Pelecinidae around today but there is more diversity in fossils. Photo by @CharltonLucy
#insectoftheday no.36. Diptera: Tachinidae. Often called bristle flies, for obvious reasons. This Gymnochaeta viridis is evidence that not all of the most beautiful parasitoids are wasps. Just most of them. #yearofthefly
