I hop...Hi all - Yes we were a bit worried at first.<br />I hope it is an Ichneumon compostwoman as they are great for controlling the numbers of cabbage whites I have a picture of a parasitised caterpillar on the video of the butterfly life cycle on this page of my website <a href="http://glallotments.co.uk/Butterfly.aspx" rel="nofollow">here</a><br /><br />Hi Tanya - there are lots of types of wasps but only some are stripey and yellow and black when I get chance I'll study them a bit more. I know that no male wasps sting and have a veru short self life - the only purpose being to mate with the females.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-6104188864927798832010-09-12T08:25:25.577+00:002010-09-12T08:25:25.577+00:00I wouldn't have tagged it as a wasp at first s...I wouldn't have tagged it as a wasp at first sight as there aren't the stripes.....so I'm glad that sting is harmless!!<br /><br />Did you learn anything about them? Do they live in hives like the other wasps?? Do they have stings at all?
