I saw a moth today I dont know what kind it was, It was a big moth light coloured but it was being attacked by two wasps pretty bad, one wasp was stinging it and was atached while the poor fella was flying of. Is this a normal thing, I have never seen this before?.

This is not uncommon, we often find moths that have been killed by wasps or hornets in the moth traps....I have also seen wasps take dead flys away from out of a spiders web, by cutting through the web with its mouth parts. The spider came to have a look at what was going on, put up a half hearted fight with the wasp, then ran off... Nature is amazing...
