Richard,
The ragged butterfly is the Painted Lady, Vanessa cardui (note the
row of 4 spots on the hindwing underside...the American Painted Lady,
V. virginiana, has two eyespots instead). Not many realize that this,
too, is a migratory butterfly -- yours appears to have had quite a
journey!
Hope Chris can help with the wasp...
Phil
