Where's the Hookah?
I think this guy should have a hookah up there on my tomato plant. He certainly has the munchies. This is the dude who has been eating my zucchini flowers, my sunflowers and my tomato flowers. I also removed found three of his buddies. The first I captured for observation. He did not survive. Two were covered with eggs. I mistakenly thought they were Tomato Hornworm eggs and destroyed them. Later I found out they were the eggs of a beneficial parasitic wasp that would have protected my garden. Of course caterpillars would not be the ones laying eggs. What was I thinking?

Right! They wouldn't, would they?
I know I said these were gross, but it all goes back to a childhood incident where my dad found one on our hedge and put it on the driveway and ran over it. That was gross.
My dad was a real dichotomy - an animal lover, yes, but certainly no Buddhist!
P.S. I notice you have a "Poetikat's Blogs" listing in your sidebar, but that link is not active. Would love for you to link to 52 Pick-up though.
