A better life for the tomato worm moth (May 31, 2018)

Papa Tom plucked a big fat horned tomato worm off one of our tomato plants a few weeks ago. Fat and happy because he'd completely stripped the leaves off one of the plants! We placed him in the butterfly habitat with some tomato leaves.  A few days later, he spun his cocoon. He emerged on May 31, and we released him at the Bull Creek watershed, far, far away from any tomato gardens but hopefully close to something else he likes to eat and that doesn't like to eat him.
