Wasps and Monarchs?

Panoply76
10 years ago

My B Garden seems to be sttracting wasps, a lot of them. I was just out today and saw a dead monarch with a wasp hovering about an inch over it. What's going on? Do wasps attack monarchs? Monarch eggs? Cats? nyone know for sure, or can tell me where to go to make sure? Also, are there any plants that can repell wasps?
