    Butterfly

This Ichneumon wasp (Ichneumonidae) hatched from a caterpillar of a Large White (Pieris brassicae), which I took into the house as a tiny caterpillar for rearing.

For species protection reasons, finding places of butterflies on maps are accidentally moved by a maximum of 1 kilometers.

This Ichneumon wasp (Ichneumonidae) hatched from a caterpillar of a Large White (Pieris brassicae), which I took into the house as a tiny caterpillar for rearing.

I had taken the newly hatched caterpillar of a Large White (Pieris brassicae) from a nasturtium standing in front of my house. The half-grown caterpillar suddenly stopped feeding and faded away. It soon died. However, the abdomen subsequently inflated in the withering body and about a week later the Ichneumon wasp (Ichneumonidae) emerged from the dead caterpillar body.
