Critters We Have Found In Our Yard

This morning we found this poor tomato hornworm on one of our tomato plants.  We felt so sorry for him.  A wasp laid eggs on him and they feed on the poor hornworm in their larvae stage and now have become pupae inside those little white cocoons and will continue feeding on the hornworm until they kill him and are ready to come out of their cocoons and fly away.  Poor guy.  I'm sure it's not a pleasant way to go.

We also found 3 small toads (probably some of those toads we hatched and released a while back) swimming in the pool and a cute little Worm Snake.  Guess I need to add more chlorine since it obviously isn't high enough right now.
