My Little Hornworm
This guy was crawling around in the garden tonight.
I called the SPCA, and they sent a van to pick him up.
He left squealing, but we were glad to be rid of him.
40 of his relatives remain to be dealt with.
I did pet him for a while before he departed.
He seemed to enjoy it when I stroked the hair on his back.
Note his tail, AKA his "horn."

That is one nasty lookin' worm. My skin is crawling. And his spiky hairs. Those are just too much to deal with.
quite an intersting little creature up close. very intricate. my interest in things very tiny has been rekindled by my daughter's curiosity. i'll see if i can find this guy in my back yard.
Tiny he ain't. He's 4 inches long.
you'll find him in your tomato patch.
