Corn Worms!

A corn worm, or as I call it, extra protein from the farm.

One good reason to buy your vegetables in the store instead of from the farmer's market or a CSA, bugs and worms! Its unsettling. I have prepared myself for corn worms every time I shuck my CSA corn, and I usually find them. I learned last year that you must shuck very early, otherwise those buggers will eat most of your corn. I flicked this one off into the backyard to survive Brooklyn on his lonesome. The corn is still good to eat, nice and sweet.
