Camo Inch Worm

After bringing in my plants for the winter there was a inch worm explosion enjoying the heat of my house - devouring everything in their path. All of the inchies were a solid light green looming on my herbs, but this lone ranger (pictured below) made itself some camouflage colors to match the Ivy plant stripes. Very cool!


Cute, but a ferocious eater who had to be put outside...
