My awesome tomato plants are being devoured by ugly green caterpillars. I tried to rescue as many of these monsters by calling on all of the neighborhood kids to come and adopt them. I thought that we had gotten most if not all of them, however, after spraying the garden with insecticide, I found that we missed a few (eight). What does insecticide do to ugly green caterpillars? It makes them go berzerk, they arch their heads way off of the leaves and then they have caterpillar seizures. There heads wave back and forth. I couldn't watch the killing anymore so I had to walk away from the garden. When I returned to the garden an hour later all of the caterpillars were gone. I believe they have ascended into caterpillar heaven.

"Well Gavin, some caterpillars hold really still for a long long time so they can become beautiful butterflies. Other caterpillars hold really still for a long long time because mommy wants to have something to put on hamburger…"
