Somebody's been eating MY tomato plant! UGH!

And that somebody is ... ... ...Look before and you can see them munching away.
OH DEAR!!

Munch! Crunch! Munch!

Why it is I.Your very fat and juicy tomato hornworm caterpillar, who has been crunch munching on your most delicious tomatoes! So sorry, but this is what I love to do! Click on my picture and you can get a close up of me!

Guess who lives in this hole?

Click on picture and look down the hole.
Did you see anything way down there? Well, the answer is the next post down.

Backyard Mammals




Yes! I am the one who lives in that hole! If you click on my picture I will stay still long enough for you to get a close look at me.
If you don't already know, I am an Eastern Chipmunk and rather shy but very spunky! I am a small striped rodent, cousin to the squirrel, and I enjoy a woodland setting. There are eight of us that live in this backyard. We like to run swiftly along the stonewalls and dart in and out of our burrows after we have visited the birdfeeders and berry bushes. We are quite amusing to watch as we hoard seeds and dangle from the blackberry bushes. After collecting such delicious goodies, we race back to our holes and put our collection in our food chambers. We like to be solitary and will often squabble with other chipmunks over food. We are very amusing little creatures! Stop and watch us for awhile! We won't disappoint you.
