I assume larvae developing inside eggs but I would not know for sure. Image captured by Felix Ruse.

I’ve seen these (with same colours and pattern) in photos before & I'm pretty sure they were parasitic wasp pupal cases. I’ll update you if I can find some evidence to share as I can’t for the life of me find them at the moment😊

Thanks, Di. They may be scarce. I have done over 8,000 records and this was my first and only sighting of same.

@ConBoekel you might be right (scarce or just not witnessed often), they are definitely not something that’s photographed regularly that’s for sure😊
