I'm so annoyed! This recent heat wave that hit us has damaged my hornworm population!
I was up north (without air conditioning) at our cabin last week during the heat wave. The temps were in the high 80s but with the ridiculous humidity the heat index was well into the 100s for SEVERAL days.
I have 3 cups, almost FULL of food of course - with hornworms looking all weird - some are changing funny colors, some of burrowing into the food, a couple have started to turn black - the cups have an odd smell to them. I'm afraid to feed any of the worms to my boys.
UGH the money I lost! It's like 30 worms too- I raised these darn buggers from eggs too!
