Hope JT doesn’t find one of these on his ‘maters!

Actually it said they feed on hickory, walnut, sumac and a few other trees... not tomatoes

We found a big fat green caterpillar yesterday. Not quite like that, nor quite like a hornworm. I gave it to the matriarch hen who, unlike the others, is non-squeamish about such things. She ate it.

Yeah you might say we’re ‘fana-ticks’

it’s pretty ‘un-bee-lievable’ huh?

it ‘mite’ bug you...to read our ‘ant-ticks’... but we’re just ‘gnatting’ about this and that on the ‘fly’...

Sometimes we talk about snakes but bugs seem like the lesser of two ‘weevils’...

That’s all the bug puns I have ... I’m just ‘winging’ it here
