Non-stop gluttony

Oh, ferk! I found another caterpillar on one of my plants! This one was a whopper, about three inches long.

So, I bent down for a closer look and, sure enough, there it was! At first, I was a bit fascinated by how efficiently it was going about its business, chomping non-stop, but then it hit me—if I didn’t do something, I’d soon be left with a bare plant. So, I had to take the inevitable step and remove it once and for all. At least it'll make a good meal for the birds...
