Small White (Pieris rapae) or Imported Cabbageworm butterfly is at home in a high tunnel where Red Russian Kale (Brassica napus) has been reseeding itself for generations untended. This "old world" species was accidentally introduced in Quebec, Canada in 1860 and now plagues wild and cultivated members of the cabbage family throughout North America. Females may fly more than 7 miles in one flight. #pierisrapae #smallwhitebutterfly #importedcabbageworm #brassicaceae #cabbagefamily #pestsofinstagram #lustforlife (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

Out surveying what’s left of the garden this year and saw this little guy clinging on for dear life. I believe this is a horn worm, which completely aznihilalate your tomato plants during the summer months. Good thing Mother Nature has your back. Welcome the other half of this picture, the eggs on the back side of the horn worm. Placed ever so delicately into the worms back. By what you may ask? A paper wasp! They lay eggs on the horn worm, hatch and eat the worm from the inside out! Oooohhhhhh man! So gross. Must really suck to eaten from the inside out. 🍅 📷 🤮 . . . #kennethhaultonphotography #hornwormsofinstagram #gardening #pestsofinstagram #hornwormfeeding #tobaccohornworm #pa_nature #pa_explorations #pennswoods #hikepa #pennlive #nature_photo #neverstopexploring #worms (at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo_6iHcAqgb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mx9xssy5u23w
