I Just can't decide if this is a nomad type wasp or a sawfly, any help appreciated. Thanks Rockwolf for getting me to the sawfly ID.

Predated Small White Butterfly

Not a great photo per se, but the subject I found interesting. This was one of my Small White Butterfly larva, it had completed making a pupa but a small wasp (likely Cotesia glomerata wasp [thanks to Rockwolf for the likely ID]) kept hanging around the larva and pupa. This is the restult, obviously hatched out. The next photo shows that at the same sorta date a Small White has emerged fine. Photos from under our eve of roof. What I found interesting was that the wasp sat up on the eve for days waiting I suppose, but did wait until the larva was in full pupation to go away (finish predating it).

Not sure which of this family this one is, there are three it could be, but a very nice looker, with a nice hole in the cement block. (see note)

I had always thought that if they got to this stage they wouldn't really be paratisized by anything but as you can see on my note, this tiny wasp is sure thinking about it!!

Well I messed this order up again, not the first time I've done that, so decided to put up an article. If you have found this and are interested here is the article and the correct order of photos, probably viewed best this way. Thanks for looking too :)
