It’s not the best picture, but I came across this battle of life & death on a ragwort. The parasitic wasp was in the process of using it’s ovipositor to lay (an?) egg in the body of the cinnabar moth.
The caterpillar was not happy & wriggling around trying to shake the wasp off & eventually both fell from the leaf.
