Praon v Aphids
Working in the garden it was noticed that there was strange looking aphid on a rose leaf. In fact it was the empty skin of an aphid with a white disc underneath.The disc was the chrysalis of a tiny parasitic wasp, of the Praon species. An adult lays its egg on the young aphid and its grub develops inside it. When the grub is mature it emerges cutting a hole in the aphids under body and attaches the aphid to the leaf on which it is living. It then uses the corpse as protection of its chrysalis from predators.

7- Spot ladybird Coccinella 7-punctata
This photograph shows a 7-Spot Ladybird that has been attacked by Dinocampus coccinellae, a parasitic wasp. Adult wasps inject the beetle with a single egg. The wasp larva hatches and lives inside the ladybird eating its non-vital organs until it is ready to pupate. It paralyzes the ladybird, eats its way out through the underside – all while the ladybird is alive - then spins a cocoon between the beetle’s legs and pupates there while the still living host stands guard over it.

Hoverfly (Volucella bombylans)
This hoverfly has no common English name. It imitates bumblebees and having used its disguise to gain access, lays its eggs in the nest of the host bees. The hoverfly grubs feed on the detritus in the nest also the young bee grubs. The colouration of the hoverfly varies according to the bee species chosen as the host.
