Braconid wasp cocoons enclosing Anthela acuta caterpillar
collected for Jose
Images taken from video.
On some kind of dandelion. iNat is pretty sure Ichneumonidae. I just don't know; can't see the wing venation. Tiny thing.
Cocoon mass just hardened when found on March 27, still attached to dying Noctuid, Spodoptera sp. Photos of adults taken on 11th day after placing into jar.
