gardening companion


This was presumably very well camouflaged outside: less so on my arm.  It was only about an inch long, and very emerald.  I'm hoping that it manages to make it to pupa-hood, and not get eaten by a bird.  That being said ... it's a cabbage white caterpillar, and it would doubtless love to munch through my germinating herb seeds (arugula, parsley, and chives have so far broken the surface), and if I see it, or its brethren, in the back yard, I'll doubtless ... remove it.
