Nothing is obvious. ;)
It came in the house, flying around, scaring the kids, so my husband picked it up and I used the piece of paper towel as contrast to snap the picture. Then, we let it out in the front yard.
Keith, thanks for the ID.

Get in mah bellieh!

I don't think so, but it sure was the first time I ever saw it! Heh

Poor birdie. :(
All the road kill I see around here is squirrels, possums and groundhogs. All of them make me :(

This is awesome! As they're almost impossible to catch! :)

Your Tobacco Hornworm has been parasitized by a Braconid Wasp. The Braconid lays eggs by “injecting” them into the Hornworm with an ovipositor. The larval Braconids feed upon the internal organs of the Hornworm, eventually emerging to pupate on the surface, which your photograph illustrates. Poor worm. :(

Thanks Alice and Susan! I very much enjoyed that little guy trying to fish. It was a treat!

Thanks Alice!

Thanks Alice and Liam!

Thanks to all!
