Nice shot. Since he's now a future breakfast for those parasitic wasp eggs I hope you let him live long enough to fulfill his destiny.

Thank you, john. I was quite surprised to find a tomato worm on my lantana. We didn't grow any tomatoes this year.

Thank you Mr. B! I have no idea if he is still alive. I cut the branch off and tossed it on the ground near a bird feeder. Cardinals like to snack on them.

Merry, he wants you to know that lantana is a poor substitute for luscious tomatoes! Nice shot regardless.
