I seem to have ALOT of wasps in my cabbages and coles......anyone know what theyre doing there? Originally, I thought they were eating the looper eggs as I witnessed this, but there seems to be more and more of them now, and no more eggs are there so Im not sure what theyre doing now! Could they be after the water that stands in the cabbage leaves???

I say your water guess is pretty good but as most are meat eaters I'd also think they are hoping for another meal hatched from the eggs they missed earlier.
