The day I first saw a caterpillar capture opened my eyes to how nature takes care of garden business when we just step aside and let it work.
Mom wasp are mostly vegetarians, they are hunting for meat for their babies. They sting and paralyze caterpillars, often far bigger than they are, and carry them back to their nests for a family meal.
I watched one carry a hornworm that was so enormous that it hopped from tomato cage to tomato cage to get it home.
They are impressive. Once you learn about the insects in your garden, you will never use any product again, organic or otherwise. If a product kills anything— it effects others, like this wasp.
My book Vegetables Love Flowers tells how I maintain my gardens without using pesticides. I give nature a hand to do the job using a cutting garden to attract and keep the workers in the garden.
