Follow up: Aphid Mummy

In my Mother's Day gardening post I talked about a photo of an aphid mummy that I found in the garden. I just happened to check the mummy today and well... it's alive! I am super-nerd excited about the video and photographs I got of the emergence of the tiny parasitoid wasp. Hopefully you enjoy them (almost) as much as I do!


The wasp has already chewed a circlular hole in the back of the mummy.


The head starts to pop out!
