Sorry You Can't "Stick" Around

It's blackberry picking season, YIPPIE!

I picked my first batch the other day with oodles of them to come!

While picking I noticed one of the berries had a stick or something stuck to it but upon closer inspection it was no stick, rather a true "Inchworm".  Very stoic for sure, as it was most definitely trying sell itself as anything but a tasty treat for a toad or bird.

After some prodding I was able to get the dude to move, click the link below to watch -

These caterpillars are accordingly called "loopers", "spanworms", or "inchworms" after their characteristic looping gait.

I eventually removed the critter and placed him in a different area of the yard, then ate the berry!

OMG, they are SO sweet and tasty!
