I went to the blueberry patch for a mid-morning snack and dang near picked this guy off the bush.
Honest. I've never seen one this big... good thing they can't jump on you as you walk by. I'm going to have to look at that will again.
It will become an Imperial Moth. A big one, apparently.

Life in the country is sure becoming an adventure for you, isn't it Mitchell? What was that movie with Chevy Chase and the dog that would never come home?

I had a guardian angel at one time, but my little devil got him drunk, tattooed, and left him penniless at a strip club. I have not had another angel assigned to me yet.

That guy looks like a hornworm of a different color. I wonder what it wants with the bush. Wiki lists oak, pine, maple, sweetgum and sassafras as its targets.
If it thinks the same thing of your blueberries as a hornworm thinks of tomatoes, you'll find out real soon. Hopefully it's just transient, though.

Here are our turkeys this am. All but one is on the fence out by the shop. They've been doing this in the same spot for about a week.Originally Posted by Belinda Williamson

I've been finding a bunch of varieties of large hornworms around here just lately. A bunch on my tomato plants but I get em. They are really pretty cool. It isn't hard to see where Eric Carle got his inspiration after seeing what happens to leaves put in their tanks!
I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.
But tasty on Thanksgiving Day
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...Holy Cow....what a ride!"

Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Every silver lining has a cloud around it
