I was happy to see the assassin bugs still hanging around. They are one of the beneficial bugs for the garden. Although they are not selective they love to feed on caterpillars. Hope they are still here when the tomatoes start producing in the spring. The can feast on the pesky hornworms.

Hornworms. The bane of my tomato growing efforts. I pick them off and cut them in half with pruning shears. They are hard to see, and just one can do lots of damage. Ugh.

Here’s to the assassin bugs.LOL
