Caterpiller Identification

Woee!! I was walking by my scotch bonnetts and noticed that there were some unusal lines in the dense leaves and whatdayaknow!! A Dagon alien sitting amongst my fruits taking big chops out of the leaves. I let him/her/it be; in a wierd kinda of way this creature is beautiful and even though it may wreck havoc on my leaves from my plants I have seen Hail storms destroy alot more and my plants bounced back. Yes it's kind of Ironic but metomorphisis is amazing to me. I found a pretty cool web site to ID Caterpillers and Larva this joker happens to be the larva from the tobacco horned worm. I learned that these guys are love to gorge on leaves and love to eat tomatoe plants and also pepper plants. I wish homeboy would take a bite into that scotch bonnet.

Pak Choy Saved

I absolutely love Pak Choy. The tender leaves are great for stir fry and they soak up flavor great. The nasty little monsters were chewing up these things left and right and threatened my whole garden. But once I got rid of those nasty bugs, My green leafed vegetables took off.

Pak choy doesn't grow really big they tend to take on the characteristics of a cabbage, spinach and lettuce all in one. It wont be long until I start sauteing this guys up with some freshly chopped garlic and Olive oil.
