Arcadia Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Took my long napa cabbage out of the fridge and found a worm. It’s not moving. Can I assume it’s dead and thrash it? Edited December 15, 2019 by Arcadia Quote
Selkie Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Maybe dead, or maybe just cold. If it's warm where you live, I would put it outside. 2 1 Quote
Liz CA Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Agree, looks more like a caterpillar. Tickle it under its chin and see if you get a reaction... 1 Quote
Laura Corin Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Don't thrash worms. They don't like it... I'd put your caterpillar outside to revive or feed the birds. Quote
regentrude Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Caterpillar. Put it outside with the cabbage scraps you're discarding Quote

I'd put your caterpillar outside to revive or feed the birds. Its 7degC/45degF now. I’ll put the caterpillar outside at my patio when it’s 13degC/55degF. The nearby squirrels and birds might get to it. 1 Quote
