Horn Worms

17 Jun 2010


I've found three of these horn worms eating my tomato plants this week. Today, Holly grabbed one out of the garbage can and squished it's head between her thumb and her finger. Green stuff squirted all over. It was really super gross. We left it on the patio and it shriveled up and turned brown. When I went out tonight to clean it up, a tiny frog hopped over my foot and scared me. Then a cricket got on my toe. I sprayed poison on the tomatoes and went back inside.
When I was a kid, Kyle and I got some earth worms, dipped them in gasoline (that was in a bread pan in the garage for some reason) and "fried" them on the hood of my mom's car. Once Kyle made a ball of earth worms that he gathered up while following the tractor around while my dad was plowing. He threw the ball at me. Luckily he missed.

Yes, I think "gross" pretty well describes it. :)
