Answer
The wasp has been penetrated by the long, thin hyphae of the fungus, which are so effective at allowing the fungus to act as a composer as it digests and absorbs material from the wasp. In this, the fungus is seen to be an absorptive heterotroph. One can also see the fungal spores-producing bodies at the ends of the clusters of hyphae projecting from the body of the wasp.
