[scrufy]

Always the thing I worry about the most.. Man I hate those guys.

 

[Dave2000]

In one regard I'm really fortunate to have so many wasps interested in pollinating my plants, they lay eggs in the hornworms and others, and they get eaten from the inside out by the larvae.

 

[sassyhott33]

Scary huge critters !!! They are destroying it ..
Ewwww gross!!!
You killed it ... Right Tex?

 

[Tex16]

Here is a better pic and closeup as well .

I mush em up and trow em in a batch of tea to feed the plants. The plants get the last laugh...

 

[Tex16]

Lol ! Well here is a side view .

 

[Wulf]

I wonder how spicy the caterpillar would be if you ate it....

 

[Tex16]
