uninvited guest


When I went out to pick tomatoes yesterday evening, I spied this little guy helping himself. This little green tomato is almost 1 1/4” long. After his photo shoot, we put him and the little tomato back outside where he ate more and was gone by morning.

  1. Isn't it interesting how he's the exact same color as the tomato. Do you think they change colors to match their environment? Nice photos.

  2. You are too kind. He would have snuffed it in our garden before he made more tomato cut worms. Lucky for him we didn't plant a garden this year.

  3. How very kind of you; I am afraid I don't treat my caterpillars as kindly as that. Just as well that I don't spot them easily.

  9. I don't think that's a horn worm - too small & not ugly enough :)
