User's notes

A third wasp from the same collection of Cadmus pupal cases as those in sightings 4496734 and 4502750. It hatched at some time between 16 June and 23 July. The last image shows the wasp with the three cases from which wasps emerged through small holes, and the one from which a beetle hatched where the lid was neatly removed.
