Pupa and parasite? Parasites? - Asphondylia solidaginis

Pupa and parasite? Parasites? - Asphondylia solidaginis
Pennypack Restoration Trust, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
July 10, 2009
Size: 2 mm
Several of this pupae found in goldenrod galls looked mangled, some missing the abdomen and maybe the head. This one has something where the abdomen should be but it is not the abdomen, it must be a parasite. Also there is a little oval thing, is it an egg or larva?
I wish somebody could tell me. If we find out what the parasites are I would rather move it to that page.
