Anyway, in my garden this year, I have a ground cherry growing, which is what we call a gooseberry, in place of my tomato bush, which came out because it's the end of the season for it. And normally I get lots of little critters living on my tomato bush, including this one that I had the pleasure of greeting this morning, a gigantic tomato horn worm

And there's branches that are kind of cut down to the stump. They eat just everything. They mow it down, and then they get bigger and bigger. I've never really seen it getting to the next stage, so that's what I'm excited for. I'll keep you posted

You. Good morning, swellers. I am just following up on our last conversation about the tomato hornworm, which is probably nice and cozy and sleeping underground. What I have discovered since our last since my last swell with you all is that the reason why these guys disappear and we can't find them, unlike other butterflies, et cetera, the cocoons, the way that they actually metamorphosize is by burying under the ground
