Spodoptera ornithogalli
Appx an inch and a half long. Found inside of a rotten bell pepper (still on the plant)
A bell pepper plant, apparently.
Thank you to ornithoptera80 for the ID!
@ornithoptera80 Thank you!!! This guy seems to have the same m.o. as my Tobacco hornworm friends...they'll eat bell peppers, but they prefer tomato. I'm sure if I grew tobacco, they'd all like that better lol. This is the first year I've been completely organic in my garden, so I'm seeing a lot of "pests" that I haven't seen before. But tbh I'm having just as much fun learning about and raising these caterpillars than I am growing my plants. Thanks to you and to everyone here at Project Noah! =D
