THIS!!!!!
Thank GOODNESS I've got some HELP! These are the ones that I put on the damaged plant a week ago. 3 out of the 6-8 I put on there are still living, but not for long!!!! I picked army worms and tomato hornworms for over an hour when I got home. I put them all on the herbicide damaged plant! I'm calling it the nursery plant now! I'm super stoked! Found some new members!
The nursery plant.
You can see some of the infested hornworms on the plant!

Yeah, but I think I said before. The white things we see are the cocoons. The adult wasp lays eggs inside the hornworm, which hatch out in to tiny larvae, that eat the hornworm from the inside out. Only when they are ready to pupate and metamorphose into adults do they emerge. So the hornworm has been considerably slowed down for a long time before the cocoon stage.
