Monarchs Affected by Parasites or Predators |
|
These are photos of Monarch Caterpillars and pupae which did not survive and a parasitic wasp that developed from within a pupa. Can anyone enlighten me further? I have larger images and specimens if anyone wants to investigate further. Photos taken by Margaret McRae, creator of the Toronto Parks and Gardens website. |
