Hello,
while waiting for a butterfly from the Geometridae family the situation changed below the kitchen paper where the caterpillar pupated before. On the photo you can see what I found below the paper. The size of the tachinid pupa is 8 mm. Unfortunately, I missed hatching of larva. Now I am waiting for the fly. What is the timeframe for hatching? The photo was taken on 22th July.
Thank you,
Marion

Should be a few weeks but do let us know what it looks like when it hatches Smile
