At home

They've been really impressive this year, my roses are so clean, there's not
many aphid left on them at all, I have to search for the aphid, but not
the ladybirds, they're everywhere in my rose garden; along with a predatory
wasp that lays eggs inside the aphid, and as the baby wasp grows it feeds
on the host leaving behind an empty shell.

Here's one working on a different rose
