Inhabitants of the internal cavity of butterflies

Community and Forum → Insects images → Inhabitants of the internal cavity of butterflies

Quite often, when dissecting the abdomen of lepidoptera, various organisms are found. Most likely, these are internal parasites. Without much hope for a definition, I suggest posting here photos of creatures or other objects found in the inner cavity.

I'm not sure if this is important or interesting, but it's a pity to throw out such information. So let it accumulate.

In the abdominal cavity of scoops of the Egira genus from Kazakhstan, I found such an object. Without a doubt, it was a certain organism. gen. prep. op1373f

I'm going to save this instance. Over time, I will make it as large and high-quality as possible. It looks very characteristic, and you may be able to determine it.

It was clearly visible even through the walls of the abdomen.

Parasitica larva? It is necessary to show hymenopterologists or dipterologists, if it is, after all, a fly larva.

Interesting link!

Gregorina?
The object really did look like a closed capsule. I also thought it looked like a giant cage. Gregarins are quite large. Thanks for the version.

Were the bellies cooked in lye?

Yes, a few minutes.

Hm.
Then I think it can't be any gregarins - they would probably have dissolved.

It looks like an anthrenus larva. It was found in the abdomen of the scooper during dissection. Rolled up in euparal along with the genitals of the person you tried to eat : )

And do you think that in some cases it may be encapsulated "mummies" of unsuccessful larvae of horsemen and other parasites that the host body has managed to deal with?

In the abdominal cavity of the scoop was such a larva. The walls of the abdomen are not damaged, it is not clear how it ended up there.
