What a beauty, and a shame, though the parasites are probably happy.

SUPER macro image Christine. I marvel at how you can find and ID all these interesting and beautiful small creatures. Well done.

An exceptional macro. I gather that this is the fate of perhaps the majority of caterpillars.

Great details and color, but sad about the parasites. V.
