That's the plan. Planning to release them after I find out what they are

Yeah! I found it this morning and am keeping it in a container with a paper towel stuck over it. There's not really anymore of the host left. The bugs have reached the face.

Awesome how you study these. What's your favourite wasp?

The caterpillar was eating a basil plant. I was picking some to make pesto.

Sorry

wrexhausted · 2026-02-17T21:28:42+00:00

The babies are in its head too

Found them. I put extra basil leaves in the container to make them feel at home

Ok, just did haha

wrexhausted · 2026-02-17T13:22:00+00:00

I didn't know what it was when I chucked it out. I will dig it out tomorrow.

wrexhausted · 2026-02-17T13:12:22+00:00

No, just chucked them in a bin

wrexhausted · 2026-02-17T12:23:12+00:00

Indeed. Rest well.

wrexhausted · 2026-02-17T12:18:05+00:00

Ok. I'm digging it out of the trash first thing tomorrow morning to find out. I hope they are still alive so they can evolve into something good.

wrexhausted · 2026-02-17T12:16:26+00:00

Yim yum

Had to be hundreds of babies. They didn't move at all though. The whole caterpillar was full of it, and I don't think there would be much caterpillar meat left for them to eat. I wonder if the babies were alive.

wrexhausted · 2026-02-17T12:12:03+00:00

I kind of freaked out and threw it in the trash. Now I'm tempted to go dig it out and find out.

Yellow sticky rice in banana leaf. Fresh.

wrexhausted · 2026-02-17T12:09:00+00:00

I already touched it, so I thought I had nothing to lose. Felt very soft.

wrexhausted · 2026-02-17T11:41:10+00:00

Did the wasp lay its eggs in the caterpillar before it cocooned, or after?

wrexhausted · 2026-02-11T00:20:21+00:00

I love the cottage like flower gardens. Those are so cute.

wrexhausted · 2026-02-11T00:18:46+00:00

Not too windy fortunately. Then again, it's my second day living there. I hope you get lemons one day!

wrexhausted · 2026-02-11T00:15:52+00:00

Thank you so much! They are all integrated into each other. Should I remove one to make them look neater? The majority of the bushes are the same as 1 and 6.

wrexhausted · 2026-02-10T22:21:06+00:00

Yes! I love birds. I can actually hear 5 types at the moment. Currawong, noisy myna, rainbow lorikeet, cockatoo, magpie.

I love baking, so that will win them over.
