Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Tachinidae pupae?

Hi,
I found a caterpillar of Calliteara pudibunda. It developed and spun itself between leaves. The caterpillar was parasitized and did not pupate. In the kitchen paper under the cocoon with the dead caterpillar, I discovered the 4 pupae shown here. Is there a chance that the flies will still emerge this year or for successfully overwintering pupae in the fridge?
Are there suggestions?
Greetings
Marion
