Adrian Jones' photos with the keyword: ladybird and Dinocampus coccinellae

Happened across this unfortunate Ladybird in the garden this morning just as a parasitic Braconid Wasp larva was emerging from its host. Amazingly the ladybird managed to walk away just after I took this shot and was still alive several hours later. Its not the best of images, the Braconid larva was spinning its cocoon quickly and it was breezy so there is some motion blur in the image and I didn't have time to rig up my flash to get a sharper shot. Natural light and uncropped.
