different parasitoids infect various early stages of butterflies.
there is no time when a butterfly early stage is not vulnerable to
one or the other kind of parasitoid, except perhaps in the last days
of pupae. and then different parasitoids kill their host and emerge
in different stages. it's really parasitoid-specific.

infested ? when does the parasite shows itself out ? an egg stage or early or
late caterpillar stage ? ............milind bhakare
