We were walking in the sheoak forest today and came across a phenomenon that was very weird and disturbing. First we found that first cluster of cocoons of a parasitic fly with a caterpillar coming out of it! But he looks like he has a butterfly head and legs on his still caterpillar body. They had clearly emerged from his body but he was still alive. And then we saw more and more of these freaky caterpillars all perched on the edges of branches with their heads arched back to their weird behinds not doing anything except maybe waving their front legs. I've never seen these caterpillars at all before. But it was like almost every tree had one and they were all behaving so strangely which made me think they might be all parasitized.
