Before planting our crop for the fall, Jared noticed that half of a green pepper was gone and thought that that was weird. Then he looked closer at the plant to notice none other than a tomato horn worm. The closer he looked, the more seemed to appear. We found 3 large ones - the length of Jared's fingers. We thought we would attempt to offer them up as a sacrifice to the chickens but they just pecked them once and left them. They must not be very savory. Can you spot the worms?
