In the back yard, not near any trees or building, I have a plastic footstool, about 1 1/2 feet tall. On it I have a plastic tray about 1 1/2" deep. In it are plastic cups about 3" tall containing late tomato seedlings. When I went out to look at them, four were eaten to the stem. At first I thought only birds could have done that, but when I moved the cups around, I found a fat cutworm curled up in the corner. How did he do that?
How did he do that?
Perhaps a bird flying above dropped its dinner or the cutworm fell from nesting material being carried by a bird.
