So, I made a photo inventory what was in, picking my 'bio' Cauliflower.

Help needed for things that I can't find what they are:

1.http://agrozoo.ne...9128bfba56

Arctidae ? ..
2.http://agrozoo.ne...6add0cee24

cocoon, I think, attached inside Cauliflower on one side by string like spider string, hanging there
when cauliflower turned around.

The last one looks like it was parasitised by a braconid wasp.

1. Pieris rapae
2. agree Arctiidae, but not sure which species
3. I think Ichneumonidae, rather than Braconidae

3. It looks to me like a typical lepidopteran larva mummified by a Rogadinae, Braconidae.

No. This is not a Braconidae.
Maybe a Plecoptera?
