This caterpillar of a privet hawkmoth was infected by a Tachinidae species. Small white spots are visible throughout the anterior dorsal area - a total of 26 caterpillar fly eggs. It was not possible to remove them without breaking the skin. So I let the caterpillar make its pupation in a small terrarium filled with soil. After four weeks (and one day!) there were around 20 flies inside the terrarium and the pupation shell was empty - see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/9922713
