I found a tomato hornworm the other day, so I pulled it off of my 'Green Zebra' tomato plant and threw it on a patio where birds are known to congregate. I watched it for a while because I was bored and it was intriguing.
Did you know that the poop of tomato hornworms looks like flowers? Really. Photographic evidence below.

What fun! I never noticed that before.
Wow! Now that's cool. In my mind, I imagine the ... uh ... exit point ... looking like one of those cookie guns with the different designs. LOL

Chicken food! I pulled 11 off at once a few weeks ago. The girls had a big snack.
