I hope someone with better descriptive powers will jump in here ... meanwhile I seem
to recall that the worm will have many white appendages sticking up from its body ..
perhaps 6 or 8 of them ... it is unmistakable .. they are large and obvious ... the
worms that I find in this condition are up on the plant, but going nowhere ... just
sitting there.
