Moth eggs & parasitoids
100 Acre Wood, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
June 15, 2018
June 13, 2018: collected eggs on common Goldenrod, Solidago sp. near the live BL trap
June 21, 2018: stuck a pin into one of the blacked egg, white gushed out, parasitoid?
June 24, 2018: yep, black eggs are parasitized, lots of tiny wasps chewing their way to emergence video

Batch rearing (with good reason)
