That's your i.d. They do behave like tiny inchworms, but they usually
do attract birds, which seem to regard them as a real treat.

Thanks for the confirmation ... now how do I train the birds to eat
the critters?! 8-) (Actually, hubby's diligent efforts at hand
picking and squishing the leaf rollers seem to be working to the point
that we've decided we probably don't need the BT.)
