Help identifying a worm [modified]

[peterchen]

This is actually not a worm, but the so Southern Wormleaf (Artemisia ablatum) which, when it's hot, rolls it leaves up and looks similar to a worm. Additionally, fresh leafs, when covered in Balsamico or other slightly acidic substances, start to wriggle a bit. It is a great addition to fresh salads, due to it's strong, peppery note. Can I use the picture you posted for the respective wikipedia article?

Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.

You might want to check who you host images with!!! :D I clicked the link once and all was well, your salad etc. I clicked it again after Chris suggested it was a catepillar and I got dumped on some site called Streamate with some semi-risque pictures and then a pop-up appeared - "Jasmin: Amateur Web cam Sex"!!! :omg: :-O Not that it bothers me, of course, man of the world and all that, but you probably don't want to use a service like that for your more professional or family oriented picture hosting needs :) Now go and get yourself a Photobucket account. Good lad. :thumbsup:

Looks like it may be a cabbage looper[^] in the early larva stage. We have them here in the states and they absolutely love lettuce. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

I was wondering where that came from. I noticed the content filtered popup a while after the fact. X|

besides the apology, could you at least edit a warning into the original post?

I think I'll e approaching an Insect Specialist(?) during next week, both to identify the damned thing along with getting him to testify for me. Cheers in every case, I'll certainly mention it to whomever I end up talking to regarding the caterpillar.

Are you serious? Its South of the tomato, north of the edge of the fork. Its slightly darker than the leaf it's on. Got 8 legs protruding from its body, in 2 clusters of 4, 1 on the lower end of its bod and the other closer to the head.
