Sure. On Springwatch, it detailed how a parasitic wasp deposits her egg by injecting it into an aphid, which would then grow inside the host and eat its way out.

Im all too familiar with the ones that lay in caterpillars. The kids' first attempt at raising caterpillars into butterflies last year ended with something like a scene from a horror film when something that most definitely wasnt a butterfly emerged from them!
Sorry if I’m boring everyone with this, but I’m fascinated with it now.
It also seems to be another kind of wasp living in the hole, I can just see the top of them shining in the darkness, but the kids have seen one leave the nest. They are also leaving some lovely greenbottle carcasses strewn around the entrances!
