Development of A. hanuuanamu on C. brasiliensis in phloem sandwiches a small A. hanuuanamu larva on a C. brasiliensis larva b A. hanuuanamu female remaining motionless near a developing larva on its C. brasiliensis host for a long period of time as if guarding it c A. hanuuanamu larva inside a C. brasiliensis pupal chamber having consumed all the hemolymph of its host. This is the same pupal chamber as pictured in Fig. 14c–f, the wasp having oviposited on the pupa subsequent to stinging and host feeding on it multiple times d A. hanuuanamu pupa inside C. brasiliensis tunnels.
