called my son. He took a moment to see it. Then I saw another.
These are the size of a pinkie, with a nasty looking but harmless horn on the posterior.
They have white and black striped chevrons on a green body, camoflage.
I'd seen these in upstate ny, fascinated that some butterfly found our plants!
Then, walking today along a channel of the SD creek, found a wild tomato plant
growing along the banks. I had the kid retrieve a large tomato from it, which was
difficult, but his ancestors have been grabbing fruit from tenous locations for
ten thousand generations...
