This is a pupa of Megalocaria dilatata (Coccinellidae) found feeding on an aphid (Aiceona titabarensis) on a local tree (Litsea monopetala) found in Hong Kong. One day after the pupa was collected, numerous maggots emerged from the pupa as shown in the picture

One day after emerging from the pupa, the maggots turned into pupae.
