Multiple white cocoons (09 - SRNP- 23352 - DHJ 495931. jpg) of Hormius barryhammeli (DHJPAR 0038037) glued to the silk spun on the leaf surface of the nest of the host caterpillar, Monoloxis flavicintalisDHJ 04 (Pyralidae). The hole through the leaf on the left is the escape hole used by the caterpillar when disturbed.
