Holy Hornworm Poop Batman!

[LindsayG]

I've never seen a Hornworm Poop like this before. Ever. This is all poop since yesterday. Is this normal? Anyone else have massive dumps from their feeders?

Done thousands of HW, never did see a long dropping like that.

Possibly your food is too moist?

CHEERS!

The food looks normal. These are just 3 leftover worms from my last cup. They were kinda small so I've been letting them fatten up for a few days. I checked this morning on them and only the one had this 10 poop string. I'm curious to see what it will look like tomorrow.

Looks like he ate a silkworm!

my first thought was a parasitic fungus....
search: parasitic fungus on insects

He actually made 3 more similar to that one. Not quite as long but still multiple poops with no pinch off. I will definitely check out parasitic fungus though, thank you

I had one like this too but there were strings attached and looked like pearls. Only one too. Very bizarre that only one out of a group had it.
