The extra protein that came with the corn

The brown husk was an ominous sign. Upon pulling off the last piece, I saw Mr Caterpillar peep out between the corn silk and had a typically female reaction.

I screamed loudly (and shrilly) and dropped the corn.

In the end, I couldn't bear to squash him (plus it was just too disgusting to contemplate) so X dropped him out in the backyard so he could munch up the weeds.

Then turn into a beautiful butterfly.
