Parasitic wasp larvae hatching from inside the living caterpillar host. The female wasp will oviposit into the hosts body. The larvae will feed inside the host until they are ready to pupate. Quite often the host is dead by that point but if not, then the parasitoid will often eat its way out of the host.
