Good deal for you. Great insect! Really cool to see them growing out of the hornworm. My problems with Tomato hornworms have been much reduced by these beneficials in the last few years. 2011 manually picked and exterminated about 2 dozen hornworms and only saw 1 parasitized. 2012 exterminated about a dozen and saw 4 or 5 parasitized. 2013 picked and exterminated 2 hornworms and have seen 3 parsitized. I hope they don't leave due to lack of food.
