Wasn't the ploy to destroy something else with a non-native invasive species how the Cane Toad got into Australia?

The nice carpet lady in the video says the wasps are native. To the UK I presume.
 
They're very small. Difficult to see with the naked eye.

I'm not sure if they are native to the UK. I think they're kind of native everywhere...

Fact is, after they've munched all the moth's eggs, then they die.
 
2,400 appears to be a common number for these things then.

This is assuming the microscopic parasitic wasps are kept a careful eye on and dont escape the non hermetically sealed country pile lol
 
On paper the wasps look good but lots of things do, the only thing I can see in
the plot is they do the same to butterfly eggs maybe it's one reason they are
in decline.
