Lophocampa annulosa
This photograph corresponds to a record of Lophocampa annulosa made in Reserva Ecológica Ciudad Universitaria - Costanera Norte (RECU-CN), Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina on 05/04/2026. The photograph was published by Andrea Casaburi and is part of the EcoRegistros biodiversity database.
La oruga estaba inmóvil. Como se puede observar tiene en la parte dorsal capullos de pupas, algunos se ven abiertos en la parte superior. Las avispas parasitoides suelen poner sus huevos dentro de orugas para que las larvas se alimenten de su carne pero no de órganos vitales permitiéndole seguir con vida a la oruga. Cuando estas larvas completan su desarrollo, salen de la oruga rompiendo su piel y empupan sobre su dorso. La oruga luego muere.
