This is wormie waving good bye! It is one of his last poses.

I never realized how damaging hornworms can be to the bark of brugs. These wounds might invite air-borne diseases. Maybe even soil-borne diseases too if the damage is closer to the ground. Seems possible.
One wormie at a time once a year is enough for me. I got real attached to this critter. I also learned alot about this worm and the damage they can do. Now I wonder what the lasting effects of the damage will be? When my brug drops dead I guess I'll have a clue as to why. :)
