My arch enemy




This nasty creature is the caterpillar that seeks to destroy my tomato plant. I have to go out there every few days to look over all 7 plants to either pick off the bugs or pick off the eggs. They are NASTY, and that little stinger on it's butt will stick you if you get too close. It's not a nice bug, oh no, it's a mean ol' bug. And if you bother it enough it will leak this nasty flourescent green goo from it's head and it's butt. Talk about gross!!! And the fact that it looks like it has eyeballs all over it's body makes it even grosser ( is grosser a word?). But of course on the day I found this big, juicy guy Faith saw it and said, "oh hi Mr. Caterpillar, let me pet you." And so I realized that I couldn't throw someone names Mr. Caterpillar in the garbage. He now rests nicely in his pickle jar condo, and if we have any luck he will build himself a cocoon and turn into the nasty brown moth that he's destined to be. You know that book, THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR? Well, this guy isn't the cute, rainbow colored bug like in that book, this is more like the VERY HUNGRY AND UGLY CATERPILLAR THAT LEAKS GREEN GOO. Now maybe I should write a book about that! Blech!
