    In a ideal world they would only kill the things we really hate like cabbage whites but I expect they may eat all types. They are on a probationary period ..I have not been stung so far and they are 5 meteres from my kitchen and conservatory.But they are doing a great job on the caterpillars 25 metres away and very interestingly (Steve Davies) they don't seem to mind my nosiness.
