Hi flyforum,

On 3-02 I found a larvae of Phlogophora meticulosa, in bad condition.
The larvae was in the latest stadium before it becomes a cocon(I think so)
I collected it in a box and after some days I concluded that the transformation was unsuccessful.

Looking better to this dead caterpillar I found two cocons.
Phryxe nemea could be parasite-guest?
But in wintertime?

Does the Phlogophora meticulosa have these parasite-eggs? or larvae on itsself during wintertime?
Or is this fly active during wintertime?
