ok. i posted this in the Ts section too. but i need some help identifying this "alien" parasite.

the thread is here http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=160158

if you can please help me i would be forever gratefull!:worship:

im not so much worried about the dead T as much as the rest of my thousands of dollars worth of Ts in my collection. this is semi urgent. please help. im not sure if its a parasitic fly larva, wasp larva or what. but mainly want to know ifmy collection may be doomed. and maybe some basc care to keep it alive till it pupates into whatever it is. thank you all so very much!

 

[lucanidae]

Probably an Acrocerid or Tachinid, both flies that parasitize spiders. Could be a wasp, in which case it is likely an Ichneumonid or one of a few other weird parasitic wasp families. Definitely rear it out, did it successfully pupate?
