Michael and I put some of these caterpillars in our bug keeper.
They made a web and did their thing...transforming into this...
So now we know what the caterpillars attacking the pumpkins leaves turn into...
Here is a photo of one in my home-made light box.
I did a search on the Texas A&M Department of Entomology website and it looks like these are called Melonworms, ewww....They resemble the pickleworm!
