Has anyone got red wasps killing the monarch caterpillars. these wasps are nasty, zooming in and stinging the larger caterpillars and carrying off the small ones. I have a tree two metres high by a metre across. Most days four butterflies are laying eggs but few leaves are missing. The eggs and smaller caterpillars disappear - the larger ones die in situ and the red wasps eat them. I need a couple of metres of net curtaining to cover the whole plant to protect the critters. Any remedy/ideas on how to get rid of the red wasps - they are the orangey/red ones whose legs dangle down. Thanks

If you can find their nest,Eneri-you will be doing everyone a favour as well as their stings are really vicious(says one who knowssad)
If you manage to find it,wait till evening and spray it thoroughly with Carbaryl (Have i got the name right?)as it is very effective.
The cheapest netting can be curtain netting at spotlight.
