Got an id on that destructive bugger it's a tobacco hornworm pupa. Come fall the raised beds will get sifted to clean them buggers out and I'll have the last laugh on them.

that is worth reading!

I thought that might be interesting... I did a quick look at the surface of the raised bed planter and I think I see an indentation where one took a dive under the ground. Makes sense the moth finds an appropriate plant to feast on and lays eggs, they hatch and feast and they are there come spring to lay some more eggs. Well not this group, they just got an eviction notice and the death penalty.

Kinda funny I thought the back end was the front end by the way it was moving around.

I have found at least 1 hornworm every day. Only one of my hens will eat them. I call her, Speck Speck Speck! and she comes running....she grabs it, squashes the head, then swallows it whole.

Anytime I find a brown cricket in the house I catch it and call Monique one time and she is always the first to get there for her treat. I didn't try to feed them to the hens because I just sprayed the plants so I didn't want them to eat that.

Speaking of crickets it's time for the 6 o'clock cricket rodeo... I got 1,000 just before the heat wave hit from Josh's Frogs.

I don’t understand any of this gibberish

I think you dropped a box of words and this is just how they landed?

On a hunch I googled “Josh's Frog”... that’s apparently a bug getting place on the internet...

So now I think I get it... you feed your hens some crickets at 6 o’clock... and things get exciting!

It didn’t help that I first read “cricket rodeo” as “cricket radio”...

That reminds me of Wall of Voodoo song Mexican Radio.

Sorry about the crappy camera work, it's hard to hold the phone and have a cricket rodeo at the same time lol.
