My guess is parasitic wasp eggs on a hornworm caterpillar

Tom, do you have the answer?

Yeah! I was kinda waiting to see if anyone else wanted to wager a guess. Maybe I will let “jes” chime in seeing as it is his photo.

Can I eat it after the debate is over ?

After studying this for a long time it came to me. look at the image for several minutes and the alignment of the particular pieces – it spells s-e-x. Is this anyother one of those disney tricks on the mind?

After doing as the picture suggested, i came back and looked at it again, sorry, I was wrong. it spells smoke, so I’m gonna try it.

Shit, I tried that to, except I got slapped. do you see go fishing in there anywhere..? It still looks like a little salsa and munchy material…

I think I saw fishing. See ya!!

Probably Braconid wasp eggs. The hornworm caterpillars develop into hawk moths of which I have quite a few since the adults are attracted to evening primrose, which as their name implies open at dusk. The unfolding happens over just a few minutes – interesting to watch. There is usally an insect of some type in the blossom by the time it is completely open. The plants are biennial, self seeding, and rather invasive.

Greg, they might taste good – I have never tried them.

Everything from fishing to eating and frying and the classical professors analysis….lol, so, guess you’re all right and funny at the same time,…..even Lee…
Yeah, eat that hornworm, fish it too! and those little wasp eggs are still in my garden, doing their job, eating on the hornworm, before hatching out and feeding on the rest of the crew that plagues my peppers and tomatoes….See, Lee, the natural approach works, along with man’s management, and they both work wonders, with God’s critter creations..

Jes,
Thanks for the great puzzle. I do enjoy the challenge of trying to solve a mystery.

Evolution has resulted in many astounding critters and relationships over the last few billion years.

I shall continue to use my man-made dog kennel to protect my tomatoes from the habituated deer – it doesn’t work on hornworms.

Noitulove is backwards thinking.ha ha

Just realistic; no head in the sand denial of evidence.

Evolution is not backwards but reality. Wake up and see the world as it is.

Who’s evidence ?

Sure as help not yours!..

It that evolution edible ? I’m hongry..

Go take an elk steak out of your freezer

Clark didn’t eat dog but Lewis did.

Who’s eating crow?….Nobody knows that old expression anymore….pshaw! My dictionary doesn’t have any word like that Noitulove! It must be more backward than crow…WORC….sounds like work to me….It’s getting so hot outside, I gotta blame that global warming that man managed or should say mis managed, so I’m gonna get shiftless and let the bugs eat up what’s left of my garden…no more WORC for me! Today, anyway…..I’ll just let one of those hurricanes blow the heat away…There’s more energy in one of those, than all of man’s doings for the last 30 years…
