several years in trees and bushes in the Kentville-Wolfville area, there =
were several largish =93webs=94 of the fall webworm caterpillars (a moth =
species).  At one of these webs in which I could see the =93worms=94 =
flexing their head-ends back and forth, and two medium-sized blackish =
wasps (unidentified) were using their hind ends, where the ovipositors =
would be, to probe the web.  Whether they were trying to reach the =
caterpillars or maybe laying eggs could not be determined, but their =
abdomens never got close to the caterpillars.
