Hookworm Help
OK fellow tomato-files do not beat me up too much. But after discovering my first hookworm my wife thought it was cute and we decided to sacrifice a plant in a 5 gallon bucket that was not producing. We sat the bucket on our patio and enjoyed watching the monster for a week or so... I assumed it would pupa in a cocoon hanging from a limb, but a few days ago it disappeared. I now have read they go underground. I want to find this thing before it moths off and lays 20 more eggs. Good news is I can see them so no huge worries.
Question: Logically he should have borrowed into the dirt in the 5 gallon bucket but I could not see a hole or disturbed soil. Does anyone know how far these will migrate from the plant, or should he be down in the bucket. I guess this weekend I will be transplanting to find out.
