User's notes

A follow-up to sightings 4204615 and 4206028 of a praying mantis egg sack. These images show a tiny parasitic wasp at work on the egg sack whilst another was perched close by. Difficult to get decent images as the egg sack was deep within the plant and the wasps were quite wary of the camera and quickly left.
