Identification of larvae and pupae

The first photo shows Aspidiphorus, most likely A. orbiculatus (Sphindidae), and the second shows Anisotoma sp. (Leiodidae).

Thank you so much!
I did some more digging with my own yesterday and decided that the second one is Anisotoma orbicularis.

It may well be.

thank you for your answer, but can it be that absolutely all eggs and absolutely all clutches were infected with parasites ?? let me remind you that there were quite a lot of them in different places.

Why not? Parasites do not sleep. I have never collected eggs, but when I see a large number of caterpillars, most often almost all of them are infected.

well, about the caterpillars, yes, I know. and who exactly parasitizes eggs ? I think they're too small for riders and taheen...

The tiniest of the riders are
egg parasites. These small — about a millimeter
or even smaller — parasitic wasps attack
the eggs of other insects, such as beetles, butterflies
, bedbugs, and cicadas. The megaphragm rider,
0.2 mm in size, is close in size to the infu-
zoria slipper; the dicopus rider is even smaller
— 0.18 mm!

What would that mean?

Hello! Tell me whose masonry and larva.

Today I met a bear caterpillar right in the snow. Help with the definition, please. I took it home for breeding. Sakhalin.

Hello! Tell me whose masonry and larva.
Rotten wood, early May, Rudensky district, Minsk region, Belarus.

Snail laying?
Caterpillar, in my opinion, something from the micro.

okoem, if my memory serves me correctly, the masonry was under the bark. Probably a slug, then?

  okoem, it was more than 2 cm.

Micro, these are micro-lepidoptera.
It says "Rotten wood", and in the photo it is among coniferous needles and moss. Where is the truth?
In the rotten wood live skardins, among the moss - scoparins (but they are hardly 2 cm).

That is, a passage was laid out of the web, it probably hid there. When I picked up a piece of rotten wood, I tore it up.

It's clear. That is, the caterpillar lived in a tubular passage under a piece of wood. In this case, it could feed on moss, leaf litter or nearby plants.
If the caterpillar is 2 cm long and in the tube, then it could be some relatively large fire pit, for example.

Here is such an exuvium of the pupa was discovered. Who could it belong to?

Good day, gentlemen. I came out for the first time this year to see pupae on fences. unfortunately, all of them were eaten by the parasites,except for one. maybe you can help us determine who exactly you ate and the one that you didn't eat,if possible. Thank you in advance.

1-3. Nymphalids. is it Agl. urticae or io ? or someone rarer ??

4-7. two pupae next to each other, in cocoons. cocoons are different in color. dippers ? if so, which ones ?? it is suspected that the flies came out in that year or earlier.

8-10. and finally, the only living pupa. it was wrapped in dry leaves soldered to a cocoon, the cocoon is dense. it was attached to the glass leaning against the fence, at a height of about 10-15 cm above ground level.

All today, 20.03.2015 Orel. city center, private sector.

I will assume that the scoop is strelchatka.

by the way, yes, it is quite possible.. there's an apple tree next to it, from which I shot psy's arrow last summer.

Some kind of murmur, but at least up to rod.

About what the eggs look like after the caterpillars come out, you need to ask Gennadich. I brought it out last year; there may be a photo.

I don't know what the eggs look like after the caterpillars come out, I didn't remove them.

I don't know what the eggs look like after the caterpillars come out, I didn't take them off.

doesn't it happen that after leaving the egg,the caterpillar eats the shell of its egg?? I think I read about it somewhere...

Hello! I have filmed many times the emergence of small caterpillars from eggs. Indeed, the majority of caterpillars eat the egg almost completely. Only a shiny trail remains.Photo 6066 - released caterpillar, left-round egg print. Photo 6079 a newly hatched caterpillar of the belyanka butterfly. By the way, there is a whole butterfly egg next to it, and on the right - a dark one infected with the parasite. Then the trichogram hatched out of it.
Many thanks to all participants! It is very interesting and informative to meet you! I learned a lot.

sorry, I,here, a little higher, posted a photo with the dead masonry of cabbage whitewash, forumchane suggested that most likely parasites. look here, maybe you saw this,maybe you know who exactly killed the eggs ?? my post with a photo on the same or previous page from 14.03.2015 17: 52. thank you in advance.

Good afternoon, dear experts, tell me pozh., what happened to the masonry, why did it die ?? on two small beds of cabbage, about 10-15 yatsekladok were found, all in this state... as a result, last summer I did not meet a single goose of Pieris brassicae, although I collected about 12 caterpillars of Pieris rapae and two Mamestra brassicae from the same beds, which I safely bred in captivity,only one scoop was hit by a rider. maybe cold nights, spraying from pests and diseases or something else..???
Orel, 2014.

Good afternoon! I'll tell you right away that I'm just learning) I've had both caterpillars and parasites come out of similar clutches. Dark eggs are always a sign of infection with a parasite (I did it this way). Photo 4701 the egg was chewed through by a trichogram, 0.4 mm in size (photo 4696 under a microscope with a scale) (or rather, there were three trichograms inside the egg, all came out through one hole). My percentage of parasitism has always been very high.

Saratov from 20/03/2015 to 27/03/2015, gall osota, plucked on the street. Metamorphosis. There were larvae in the osota halle. I put three larvae in a cup. he observed the transformation from larva to pupa, from pupa to imago. I have some questions. 1. Is this a joke? What do these nuts usually eat (I put jam and water, but the imagos don't eat yet)
2. When the larva turned into a pupa, a white sausage formed in the "back" area. What's it?

Yesterday I got two caterpillars, the caterpillar of the shovel was preparing to pupate under a piece of slate, and the caterpillar of the moth froze, curled up, on the ground. Please help me with the definition.

scooper-Xestia c-nigrum
moth-probably some kind of Scopula

The scoops caterpillar was preparing to pupate under a piece of slate I think,

Judging by its appearance, it is still too early for it to pupate. The caterpillars of many butterfly species hide during the day.

scoops - Xestia c-nigrum

scoops - Xestia xanthographa
