I have a 2nd floor balcony garden of potted tomato and pepper plants and some herbs. Yesterday, I noticed that the 4 or 5 peppers I had were gone–there were remnants of two of them that had clearly been chewed on. I found a huge greenie on a stem of one of the plants. I had to pull really hard to get it off with a wooden pliers type instrument, and threw it over the balcony. I was amazed wondering it how it got there. I guess I will keep checking my tomato plants for signs of any others. It was a bummer about the peppers, which were mostly ready to pick, and now I have none!

I have never been so grossed out in my life… I thought a storm that went thru here a couple of days ago had striped off the leaves like tornadoes do with trees.. but nooooo in less that 24 hours at least 5 of these things did that damage… and they fought with me when I tried to pull them off!!! I put them in a frozen dinner box and them proceeded to jump up and down on them to vent my anger… but they got the last laugh when green snot came shooting out of both ends of the box… sigh
