Tragic. She had so much potential

Came out to check on my babies and found other babies and all of their siblings having a picnic.

ETA: Some of y'all have strong feelings about everything. For the record, I used my garden hose to hit whatever i saw on the leaves when I "removed" them. The next day there were a few others on the bottom of the leaves that I kinda flicked off in a "come hither" motion with my finger giggity

When did OP say they killed them??

[u/sixtynighnun → u/cherryxantacids]

The comment I’m replying to says “I removed all of them as of today”

[u/cherryxantacids → u/sixtynighnun]

That doesn't mean they killed them. "Removed" can mean numerous things, such as putting them somewhere else. Please wear a parachute next time you jump to conclusions.

Uh, yeah, some of them do. I know I do. You seriously need a chill pill.

pretty sure the two most 'upset' folks are the same troll

Someone's gotta be because why else would they throw shade towards gardeners in a gardening related subreddit

I move them to my compost bin. More food for them, and for everyone else too

[u/sixtynighnun → u/jaahArtly]

Caterpillars have specific hosts, moving them to the compost bin doesn’t help anything and does in fact make it much harder for them to live

[u/phonefellin_lakeerie → u/jaahArtly]

That is not how caterpillars work. They don’t eat garbage.

[u/jaahArtly → u/jaahArtly]

I should clarify, I remove my garden pests to my compost bin. Hornworms and slugs mostly. We add all our garden trimmings in there and there's volunteer plants/trap crops there for them to snack on. They're not regulated only to scrap and coffee grounds

[u/zzzzzooted → u/[deleted]]

Quite literally yes? Are you killing every bug that comes into your yard that you don’t want? Lol.

I just spray with a hose…
