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.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
