A happy sight

10 Sep 2010 215
No one who grows tomatoes is happy to see a tomato horn worm -- unless it looks like this one. Those white things are the cocoons of the braconid wasp, which will grow to adulthood by consuming the worm (itself the larva of the sphinx moth). Such tomato worms are best left alone, to be the nursery for the little wasps.
