[QUOTE="catman529, post: 2424500, member: 9284"] Oh yes the droppings are easier to spot than the caterpillars. Also you may notice new growth that is missing leaflets, just appears to be stubs, cut cleanly unlike deer which just rip the tops off. Clean cut damage like that is usually caterpillars and then you have an idea of where to look for them. The wasps make it easier to spot with the white cocoons all over the worms, but the worms won't die before doing a lot of damage to your plants, so pick them off but don't destroy the cocoons so more wasps can emerge and infect more caterpillars.
