Burnished Brass - Diachrysia chrysitis

This was an odd find. After photographing the damselfly on the previous upload, I returned to my camera bag which was lying on the grass and I noticed this caterpillar which had started to weave silk threads to attach itself to the bag, clearly getting ready to pupate, not good so I gently removed it

However that's the least of its problems as I then noticed the small white dots on its head so unfortunately this caterpillar has been infected by a parasitic fly.

Best viewed very large.
