OK, some caterpillars we like.  Some others:  not so much!!!

 

The same day I saw that cute Swallowtail caterpillar on the lovage, I also saw this big, fat caterpillar eating my tomato leaves.  ACK!!!

 

I encourage and support the swallowtails in their efforts to cocoon and emerge, but these hornworms are terrible.  They can destroy my tomato crop in a couple days.  They gotta go!!!

 

So I cut off the stem just below the worm, and put it on the bird feeder tray.  Next day it was gone.  Good, maybe somebody enjoyed it.  

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
