Biological control of a tomato pest - stock photo

Tobacco hornworms, Manduca sexta, are a pest of tomato plants. They are controlled by a braconid wasp, Coterie congregates, that parasitizes the hornworm larvae. The white structures are pupae of the wasp. The larvae have already eaten the viscera of the tobacco hornworm, emerged through the skin, and formed pupae.
