A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife

The fat, brown aphids in these images have been affected by Braconid Wasps (Subfamily Aphidiinae), a type of parasitic wasp. The wasps lay their eggs in the aphids where the larvae develop. Eventually, the new adults will emerge out of the dessicated bodies of the aphids.
