Default Ewwww.....

... is what my husband said tonight when we found the "monster" below on our Arkansas Traveler while we were watering. He definitely wasn't as big as "The Monster Who Ate Big Beef" but this was one hornworm I was happy to see!

After we found it, I hot-footed it into the house to get my camera, clapping and singing "Yay! We have parasitic wasps!" My 17 year old daughter looked at me like I lost my mind. So, I'm a dork... can't help it!

Cool! As many of those dastardly worms as I have seen in my garden over the years I have yet to see a parasitised one cruising in my yard...I'm so jealous!!!
