I picked both of them off and sent them on their way....to the neighbor's yard. I'm sure they'll have the chance to come back, but I didn't want to kill them if I didn't know what they were.The morning comes early. Sweet gardening dreams.

The Moth Man Commeth
I have no idea what this little doo-jobie is, but he and a buddy were hanging around under my garlic leaves. They were very complacent and sat right there as I picked them up. They were all white except for a brown spot on the undersides of their heads.

Very bad moth.......it's the one that lays eggs that turn into the cabbage worm.
ReplyDeleteWell yuck, then. I don't know why, but I thought those moths were more of the yellow variety and what is that thing then doing on the garlic?
ReplyDeleteCreepy, they were, just hanging out there without a care in the world.
Cabbage worms, huh? I wonder why they were hanging around your garlic then. So odd.
ReplyDeleteYikes...bad moth! I had a case of those last summer and they did lots of damage to my cabbage. Maybe they are just chillin in the garlic and waiting for the cabbage plants to arrive : ) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteCabages were so there. As a matter of fact, I harvested one good head yesterday. There's one there that I think is riddled with worms, so I think I'll just throw that one out.
ReplyDeleteSo if you had chickens you could just toss them to them.
ReplyDeleteYou're right up my alley Stefaneener.
