I am in Napier. My current 4 swan plants have had eggs laid on them but the eggs disappear. I suspect the wasps (long skinny ones) are eating the eggs. Normally at this time I have dozens of caterpillars. But so far I have only seen 3 new borns, who also disappeared. Are wasps eating these? Are others finding this season problematical?
I have about 6 other plants currently growing up. These are my replacement stock for when current 3 plants are eaten out (stock plants are protected from egg layers until they get bigger). Sadly this looks like the one time my replacement stock will not be necessary.
I would like some help, please, or even to know if this is happening elsewhere?
Thanks, Maureen
