Garden Creepy Crawlies

There's something hidden in the tomato plant below. It is extremely easy to overlook. Can you find it?


Okay, if that one was too hard, maybe this one will be easier.

If you've found the hidden thing, you should be disgusted, as normal people should be by the sight of....


...tomato hornworms. Disgusting vile spawns of Satan, if you ask me. We had been living blissfully unaware that such vermin had invaded our tomato plants. And then one day I found one...two...and eventually picked about seven or eight of them off all the tomato plants, total. I've found a few more since. They are extremely hard to spot. When they are disturbed, they start making little crunching noises. If you can't spot them yourself, you can run a stick through the branches of the plant-in-question. Likely being disturbed by this, they will start making noises so you can hone in on their location more easily. Also look for telltale signs such as droppings (sort of look like smaller/rounder guinea pig scat) or (the obvious) bare branches. For the benefit of any who are more ignorant than we were, here's a picture:

something I'm sure you were all dying to see...

And this is what happens when I find jokers eating my tomatoes.


Here's a picture of a spider which has been living on one of our marigolds for a few months now. Judging by what the Google Image query of "green spider hairy legs" yields, this is most likely a Peucetia viridans, otherwise known as a green lynx spider. True to a spider's nature, it indiscriminately eats both beneficial and harmful garden bugs.
