Yup… More bugs…
This little critter Chad found hanging out on one of the pepper plants would have turn into a sphinx moth, (*shudder*) – but he’ll never see his chrysalis stage.
Those little white things stuck to his body are wasp eggs… The larvae will hatch *into* the host and feast on the stunned, but still alive, caterpillar.
Pretty gory huh?
Nowhere near as frightening as the big,…. hairy…. moth this little guy would grow into if left alone.
Come on – you want to look closer.
what? why not? Chicken?
