Thank you Tee & Josephine. Next, I'd like to talk about some good choices for plants to attract the beneficial bugs to your gardens.

Tee, wow, what a nice find! - it looks like some kind of parasitic wasp (probably Braconid wasp) laid eggs on the hornworms which hatched and the larvae are feeding. Once they pupate, they will seek out other hornworms to parasitize! Thumbs up

How interesting - that preying mantis is blending in to his surroundings LOL!

Thank you for sharing what you found, as you took a closer look in your garden. Awesome!
