Check out the article that @Amy_L_Toth and I wrote for @ConversationEDU about our recent pub (w/ Erin McCall) in J Econ Entomol. I'm hopeful to take advantage of the wasps already in the Pacific now!

So I'm in the yarden, and I see these beautiful caterpillars on my kowhai. "Kowhai moths?!?" I wonder. So iNaturalist.org to the rescue! Kowhai moths indeed. They can stay.
Check out that webbing. So cool.
