Along for the ride

This tomato worm is festooned in the cocoons of a parasitoid wasp. It's eating tomaties. The wasps are eating it.

Out of worm

This tomato worm has been sucked dry. It shall never achieve its aspiration of becoming a sphinx moth. Those white cocoons, though, will hatch into tiny wasps.

"Wriggle in despair, worm" is what the turtle would say, were it an anime villain. As a mere turtle, it says, "mmmmm, tasty."

Messy eater

Turtles eat worms the way three-year-olds eat popsicles: when they're done, there's as much on the ground as in the belly.
