I just release several Monarchs which I raised in a cage. The wasps in my area eat just about every caterpillar, so I try to raise as many as possible and then release them. Something I saw this week really surprised me .... I saw a Tiger Swallowtail that was flying really odd and then it landed hard on the ground. Upon examination, I witnessed a wasp on it's back stinging it! Of course, I chased the wasp away, but I think the damage had already been done to the poor swallowtail.

I wish I knew a good way to eliminate the majority of my wasp population. They eat almost 100% of the cats in my yard unless I get the cats before they do!
