Small caterpillar fallen prey to a parasitic braconid wasp. The caterpillar is paralysed and the wasp lays eggs on to its body. Once hatched they enter the caterpillar and consume the animal from within.

Canon 6D 100mm USM macro on camera flash with homemade diffuser. 7 shots handheld, stacked in Zerene.

12 shots handheld.

Thank you for looking
