I couldn't find him this afternoon. He's either moved on,
or been eaten by a bird. I looked on the nearby (very
nearby) dill plants too.


if he was around 1.25" long when you saw him, he's gone now
because he's pupated



I thought that might be the case, because that's how big it was
yesterday. They don't bury in the ground do they?
