Appears to be a parasite on Papilio aegeus that pupated yesterday. It has been inside in an enclosed container since I collected it 16 Feb so I assume it was attacked before then. Will keep it isolated from the others and see what emerges.

@donhe I assume it is either a fly or a wasp???

I find the photo hard to interpret. A photo of the whole pupa would be good.
