His Greenness lost his greenness...

Photo from today; I used to call him "his Greenness" when he was still a green caterpillar (one week ago or so), but now it does not seem an appropriate name anymore...
He is not moving anymore, stopped eating parsley, lost his green color completely; his look now reminds me of a lump of candle wax; the texture  looks a bit grainy (click on the photo to enlarge)...I am not sure whether it is completely "normal", perhaps there are parasites inside?...Brr...Or am I worrying without any need?
Time will tell...
Yes, now I know, that grainy structures are actually cocoons of wasp parasites! The green caterpillar is no more!

"insect"

A proof to myself that my knowledge of insects is gradually growing; I took this photo 2 years ago and gave it a very simple title "an insect"; at least now I would title it "an Ichneumon wasp", I still do not know the exact name of the species, but there is some progress being made, I think....
Do they bite people?...
This one was photographed at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, at Camel's Hump trail.

Ichneumon wasp

One more photo of the same wasp as shown recently (seen here on the top of my pen).
It is female, judging from white fragments in the middle of the antennas...
Has been released back into my garden...

Inspecting the crime scene...

The remnant of the pupa:

Please note that instead of the long crack along the axis (which would be typical if the moth has emerged normally) there is a top part of pupa missing, presumably the culprit wasp emerges from the top part and not sideways like the moth would...

parasitoid wasp?

About 1 month ago or so I have found a small pupa hanging on a silk thread in my garden under the rim of a plastic gardening pot. I assumed it belongs to some lepidoptera...

But what has emerged from it today was not a butterfly nor a moth, to my great surprise....
It is a wasp (Ichneumon wasp), I assume it simply/gradually ate all the pupa except it's "shell" and then emerged as an adult ("hiperactive") wasp! (Call Crime Scene Investigators now...)
