I am a Tricky Gramma,
at least that is what Sara
labeled me
when she was only three
and her mom discovered
Trichogramma wasps
could control the life cycle
of moths.
Yes, the tiny microscopic
Trichogramma wasp
seeks out freshly laid
moth eggs...
then inserts her own eggs inside
to pupate within
and devour
mothy's eggs.
Poor JM!!!!
You've worked so hard
to propagate
but that tricky gramma
is always right behind you!
(at least in organic orchards and gardens)

LOL, Hope you are too, JM, Moth-momma

Being the Moth Queen that she is, she's probably out-tricked that trichogramma wasp....

LOL, JM, I knew you would have a great reply.

Have a great time flying around. ?asbestos eyelashes? ROTFLMBO!!!!

BTW, FYI, I hope to complete the sequel to this soon, called "Death Stealth Moth" LOL, with so many good mothy stories, it's a shame not to share them.

And JM is such a good sport!

Wasp you think you're doing? I thought you were a peacefull gramma!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

(giggles in delight) Chaperone much? (smiles) This is cute, sweet friend, now if she could just sneak off from an organic garden maybe she can find a place finally! (smiles) I love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
