Re: Weird Worm with lotsa friends

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

You found some tomato hornworms covered with the cocoons of a parasitic wasp
that had laid eggs.  The larve ate the inside of the caterpillar, carefully
keeping it alive until it was time to pupate.  Then they moved out and spun
their cocoons on the outside, leaving the caterpillar to die.  Let them
hatch and you will have more wasps to keep the hornworms under control.
