New flagpole and monument adorn Mt. City entrance

Looking outside with my hands in dishwater, something didn’t look quite right. Looking straight at a gigantic caterpillar, my eyes had not focused. Outside with my phone in hand, the handsome bright green beauty stood out.

What a camera the iPhone 6+ is! It captured a photo for you! You probably have some friends with very nice cameras who leave the cameras behind when traveling.

On Facebook, Penny Moulder quickly responded to my query about the caterpillar’s identity. “Looks like the jerks who ate my tomato plants!” Yes, indeed. A little research tells me it’s known as “tomato hornworm.”
