I was just out in the garden. I had picked about 14 hornworms off the plants over the last week, and have found more damage, but have been unable to find the worms

Out of the corner of my eye I saw something white, and, there it was, a thing of beauty, a getting-skinnier-by-the-minute hornworm with "many grains of rice" on its back!!

I was so excited I dragged my DH away from his LeMans Race on Speedvision, & took him down to the garden to see this wonder of nature! I garden organically, and it was a thrill to see the beneficials in action!
