Insects and Spiders

Side View

This side view shows the husks of its victims attached to the larvae. This is a good friend to gardeners. With a huge appetite it will consume all soft-bodied bugs on your plants. It can eat over 200 aphids in a week. So strange to watch this little bit of debris crawling along a leaf or stem. This one was on my milkweed.
