Students find a surprise in the tomatoes!

Today on the playground at Parkway, three students spent some time looking at a really cool camouflaged worm we found in the garden bed on the tomato plant.  Turns out, it is a tomato hornworm. Oh no!  At the bottom of this blog post is a link to some images and more information about it, as well as a picture of the one we found.  Unfortunately, the worm disappeared before I was able to remove it from the tomato plants, so the students may find it again later.  ALSO included in this post is a video from our own Richard Tidyman! Be sure to watch it!
