OK so maybe not. Hmmm... got to thinking, if the fat little green varmints are no longer on my Burgs. where might they be? Oh no!! My tomatos. Yep! There they were, all four of the little monsters. I plucked them off and made them a nice little home out of a planter and some screening. Ya I know, I can hear you all screaming, "Squish them!" Well, that is where things got a little strange. I am missing 2 green monsters but ended up with a tiny cacoon that hatched a green fly thing. And oh, they don't seem to mind being in captivity, or at least it hasn't bothered their appetite. Here is a pict. of the green fly. I doubt that he has anything to do with my worms, as my sister-in-law calls them. I think that he just happened to be on the branch that I put in their habitat. I alos have a pict. of the cacoon.
