you ever seen that video of the snail that got infested by the weird worms that took over its body and used its head to attract bird customers?

Aww, this poor tussock moth caterpillar is just bursting with parasitoid wasps pupae. Gross but cool.

Any #monarchbutterfly #conservationists who might help me understand/fix this odd behavior? I have 1 sizable milkweed & 1 small start. Big plant infested w/spider mites. Small is not. @ 5 #caterpillars on both not eating leaves at all. They are eating flower buds and chewing through the stems 🌱

I noticed yesterday that our red currant bush was infested with greenfly, whilst removing the worst affected leaves, I saw that it was also being attacked by sawfly grubs. To my pleasant surprise I then discovered four Comma caterpillars, which I’ve left alone. #comma #caterpillar #gardening #insect

Had a second round of tomato hornworms appear. These ones got left on the plants since they are carrying the next generation of free pest control! #bugs #insects #permaculture #organic #gardening #foodgarden #ontario #norfolkcounty #garden2025

I didn’t know what was wrong with the box trees before we went away (thought maybe spider mite as there were webs @ bottom) but we came home to this & after a bit of research I have discovered the culprit- the box tree caterpillar. The trees are completely infested. Is this a new issue in Ireland?

Third year, still mostly clueless. Most of the beds have been mulched and covered. I've taken the netting off of the brassicas in the hopes that birds will eat the caterpillars? Some romanesco heads are forming, so hopefully all is not lost? #allotment #vegpatch

Had a wonderful time in Montauk today with my husband, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law. We went up to the lighthouse and hiked the path around it before a fantastic lunch in town We saw no ticks but lots of deer, rabbits, cormorants, and gulls. Plus a woolly bear caterpillar. 1/2

Truly amazing! I had a similar encounter with both the moth and the caterpillar. Sadly the caterpillar was infested with wasp larvae and dead.

I had two ‘balls’ that got infested with Box caterpillar. There was barely any leaves left, but I saved them both by spending 15-20mins every day picking the caterpillars off and lobbing them over the wall! Now have plenty of foliage again.

A government-funded campaign has begun spraying insecticides and biological agents on 240,000 acres of Maine’s North Woods infested with spruce budworm, a voracious forest pest that killed millions of spruce and fir trees during its last population explosion.
Maine tree spraying will kill any caterpillars, not just forest pest
While not toxic to people or most animals, pesticides to protect spruce and fir trees against budworm could also hurt the caterpillar form of two threatened butterflies. Spraying supporters say plans ...
