Pesky little critter!

A couple weeks ago I saw that my tomato plant had been all chewed up. I looked closer and saw this huge worm on the stem. So like a good educating mom, I caught it in a jar. The kids lovingly named him Monstro.



This is the damage he did to my plant. He ate almost every leaf, I'm glad I caught him when I did, it was my biggest plant.


He only lasted a few days though in the jar. I didn't have anything to feed him because he only wanted tomato leaves and I think he got enough of those :) I tried tree leaves and spinach leaves....after a day of not eating those, I gave up. He got a ride in the dumpster. I don't think we'll be having a pet here any time soon :) They are a lot of work.
