Seedfork said:Speaking of garden helpers, today in the garden I was shocked to see a large two inch long green caterpillar, being drug across the ground by a long narrow bodied wasp, not as long as the caterpillar. He seemed to have drug it out in the open sun so I could see what he had done, then he flew off. Maybe to let the caterpillar decay, maybe to go get help?


They usually paralyze them then drag the caterpillar underground and lay eggs in it, baby wasps hatch and eat it, while still alive! Blinking
