In my neighborhood, we call squirrels 'little *******s' for what they do to
the tulips.

What would snip off he heads of tulips as they are about to bloom? My
mother thinks it is squirrels but I thought I once heard of some sort of
worm/bug/catipillar that did that -- anyone know the correct answer? The
buds are never eaten. They're just lying next to the flower, snipped so
close to the top that they can't even be put in water to bloom.

scissors massacring tulips for no particular reason...)
