This catterpillar is commonly seen on our plants. Unless they are found out and destroyed, they will eat away the whole plant. Great haiku and image👍✍️

Valsa, I threw some tomatoes that had begun to go bad over in some English Ivy last year before my husband got sick. I never ever thought that they might actually come up. Well, after my husband died, I asked my grandson to run the lawn mower over that ivy because it was a hiding place for snakes and chipmunks, etc. So, one day my daughter came down here and went in and cut a little and those seeds from those tomatoes came up. LOL..Thanks for the visit. Sara K.

Why, thank you, Sara B. I wish you well also. Is your area affected by the hurricane or tropical system that hit Texas? Sara K.

Yes, Yann, tomatoes are very good for our bodies if we don't overindulge. That green horned caterpillar overindulged in the leaves of the volunteer plants outside my back door. LOL. Your visit is uplifting. 👍⭐. Sara K.
