Wasps eating cosmos ?
I have a number of white cosmos, up to about 4ft tall and flowering. But then they all started keeling over - looked like something had eaten through the main stem. Also noticed that there were groups of wasps on the fallen plants, looked like they were eating it.
I didn't know wasps did this, and is there any way to prevent it in future ?

The stems were partly cut through about 3 inches up, didn't look like what you'd expect from slug damage. The sap must be sweet, there were groups of wasps feeding on it.
