Comment:   Charaxes spp. If there was a nearby Ekebergia it is most likely white-barred Charaxes, but you can never be sure unless you also saw the larva.

Comment:   These are braconid wasps, probably of the genus Brachymera. The pupa is not squared off enough to be brutus. The shape is more like that of jasius. These wasps need to be preserved as they are mostly unidentified.
