The wasps are beneficial insects. They will pray on the rest of the caterpillars.

Those parasitic cocoons emerging from the host - just gives me the creeps ( ..aliens.. !).

A note to jimmy:
Pl. edit your thread
tittle and add the word "Parasitic" to it.
(rather than just plain 'Wasp')
For us many fig-people; the word 'wasp' normally has a veeery different meaning when it comes to them figs...
