We always have a few hornworms in the garden and this year was no exception. They usually get tossed to the chickens or turkeys who make short work of them.

This is the first time I have ever actually found one that had been the target of the Barconid Wasp. I’ve seen pictures in books and on the internet but never first hand. That is until last week.

I found this one on a wilted pepper plant. Come to think of it, the few worms that I have found this year have all been on hot pepper plants and not on the tomatoes.
