I found this wormy getting bullied by ants. I put him in the dirt a few feet away and he dug a hole back home

"Small world of the garden", part 2.
This pretty caterpillar, Cucullia asteris (Aster cutworm) displays a form of camouflage called "disruptive coloration". Stripes and colors help break up the animal's shape, confusing potential predators.

Wondering what made a clean cut on the stems of these flowers leaving the blooms. Also seeing it with zucchini in a raised bed. Cutworm?

Tobacco Cutworm… I knew you’d appear in my vege patch at some point. I was ready.

I feel more normal today. Still filling his water dish and talking to him and seeing him everywhere and smelling the empty spot on the blanket where he should be curled in the shape of a cutworm until afternoon and pretending I sense something there when I know there isn't. Other than that, normal

“Carrion crawlers strongly resemble a mix of a giant green cutworm & a huge cephalopod. A carrion crawler moves rapidly on its multiple legs despite its bulk, & each of its feet are equipped with sharp claws. The head is equipped with 8 tentacles which flail at prey;”

This moody Green Cutworm #Moth was waiting for me on a kitchen cupboard this morning. Hasn't had his coffee yet; he's a little grouchy.

Take your pick - it’s a Variegated Cutworm Moth or it’s a Pearly Underwing. How can a moth have a slightly terrifying common name and a cute common name at the same time? Either way, it’s a first for this year in the trap last night.

I hold no preference among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. (Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!)

How do you like them apples? Do you like them more than me, Speckled Cutworm Moth? Is that why you keep trying to poison me? I am a fan, but am open to eating other plants too. Maybe we can come up with a mutual understanding where I live?
