Thelma and Louise - Day 30
I am absolutely livid! I opened up my tent after lights on to admire the little ladies. Im all happy looking over Thelma and then I switched my gaze to Louise and I saw the ugliest sight. One of her beautiful, fat leaves had a HUGE hole in it! After my squeal of dismay, the first thing I did was to pick up that leaf and look under it and the <insert expletive here> culprit was there. It was some sort of tiny little caterpillar. It was green, but naturally it would be since it gorged on my darling Louise. So pissed! I searched every single leaf, topside and underneath for eggs, more worms, or damage. I took the ugly leaves from Louise's lower stem, the yellow, damaged ones from when she was over-watered. The intruder ate one of her cotyledons (the whole thing!) and I found a small hole in one of those yellowed leaves.

Thelma is doing great. She was not affected that I could see, and believe me I totally looked.
I cant help but wonder where that caterpillar came from. I searched the surface of the soil for any others or anything that might indicate more, but I didnt see anything. Now I have to wonder if I need to take steps to prevent that from happening again, and if so, what to do?
By the way, the worm is now nothing more than a green smear on that piece of paper and tossed in the trash. Harumph! Thats what it gets for messing with my babygirl.

Ive very pleased you made it here. 
Very nice to have you drop in. Id serve refreshments, but they still need a couple months at least to be ready for guests.
