Non-stop gluttony

Oh, ferk! I found another caterpillar on one of my plants! This one was a whopper, about three inches long. It was bright green and had been hiding pretty well among the branches while happily munching away at the leaves. The first clue was the droppings on the ground—big enough to be noticed. 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...
