Nature is pretty crazy. Today I discovered a giant green caterpillar on my tomato plant. It was covered in what looked like ovoid white eggs. My research suggests this is a Tomato Hornworm already found by its predator, a wasp whose hatchlings will consume it.
I am leaving them alone to fight it out.

My best-guess ID for this #caterpillar, encountered yesterday afternoon on the sidewalk, is the Yellow Woolly Bear, larva of the Virginia Tiger Moth (Spilosoma virginica). This is based on the lazy method of asking AI to identify the photo, plus looking it up in an actual book, my trusty Peterson's Field Guide to the #Moths by Beadle and Leckie (2012 edition).
