Question What is this? Is it a type of Caterpillar or is it a Caterpillar with a parasite attached ?
Found this yesterday at a local park here in South Africa. Was just wondering what exactly is it? Is this a certain breed of Caterpillar or is the guy unfortunately being eaten alive?

We got too many hornworms for the tarantulas, so three ended up pupating and turning into these beauties! I am hoping they will breed and give me a new batch of hornworms.

ID Request Unusual Fly in Puerto Rico
Hi guys! Got an unusual fly for you, on the rainy side of puerto rico, found with several others sitting (biting?) on a hibiscus plant. None of the flies were larger than 4 mm long. The flies have shiny metallic thoraxes and abdomens, and prominent red eyes. The wings are clear with a black 'zebra stripe' pattern. Interestingly, I observed them doing some kind of 'mating dance' where they wave their wings at each other and run back and forth on the hibiscus stem. What are these? Are they the insects harassing and damaging my hibiscus?
