I'm not sure what kind of bug is eating the Black Swallowtail Caterpillar is or if it killed the Caterpillar or is just taking advantage of the free lunch.
I saw a similar little bug not long ago but I still haven't been able to identify it. Maybe someone else will know. I suspect this little guy is just taking advantage of a free meal.
