Last year I had 2 HornWorms whose backs were covered with white eggs. So thinking that I was wiping out future generations I squashed them. Shortly afterwards I learned that the eggs on their backs, belonged to, what the book calls "Beneficial Wasps". These Wasps eat certain garden pests, hence the name Beneficial. So be careful what you squash! vic ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
