Hypercompe scribonia caterpillar with parasitic wasp larvae spinning cocoons. Brooksville, Hernando County, Florida, USA February 5, 2013
I found this caterpillar in the woods. I put it in a bug aquarium and the next day it was covered with larvae spinning cocoons. When I removed it from the container the webs were displaced to the side revealing the larva yet to spin.
