Wow, people think the pupa are dormant, but this shows they are awake and aware.

Doomed, and the larvae probably knows it. That's got to be a bad way to die

Welp, that (kinda) explains why second parasitic wasp I've seen today had a longer stinger than the first one despite seemingly being of the same species.
