Coming back to life

In the morning I find in the skimmer of the pool this big guy drowned dead the wings wide open.
I put him on a small twig,

3 hours after I decide to shoot the beast.
after 3 or 4 shoot I see something moving at the bottom of the insect ?

at the beginning I think is a worm (parasite) trying to get out ?
very nervous this worm

the rest of the insect stay dead!
is not a worm ':oops:'

at the end of the day I find him with the wings closed, and if I touch him, the insect moving !
the guy is back to live, a kind of walking dead...

Its the longhorn beetle Aromia moschata, and the "worm" is its ovipositor, as its a female

OK .
and I guess this worm is from the same family ?

And this is the result

a branch big as a car wheel on the floor ...
