Default I kept telling the wife they're here.

For the last few days, I have been searching my plants three times a day (or more) and telling the wife that I could "feel" their presence out there.

This morning, my concerns were validated when I found the critter pictured below (which, BTW, is now deceased). Now, I'm doubly paranoid.

Did not find the first sign of any damage. Not even one leaf edge chomped. Nor did I find any more critters.

This one was about 2 inches long and a paler color of green - not the usual tomato-stem-green. It was crawling on the top of the mix in one of the 18 gallon containers.

What freaks me out on this one was its size given no evidence of it eating anything.

Oh, well, they have arrived in North Georgia. North Carolina, this weather may send them moths your way next. If not, Tennessee could be the target.

Natural, you're just north of me ... ..Theey'rrre HEEEEERE!!

Brog, did you just run them out of your garden??
