| Estigmene acrea (Salt Marsh Moth) |
Kenny found this moth perched on a wheat stalk the other day. I'd never seen one before - or should I say I have never noticed one before. Tending a large garden gets you to notice insects a lot more. Especially if they are munching on your veggie plants. The internet is great for looking up stuff so that is where I went to find a picture of this creature. Yup - the caterpillar stage is a veggie muncher - big time. So even though unusual looking it's getting the "insecta non grata" organic pesticide treatment.
