Came inside for lunch today and found this little friend wandering around on my pant leg. They were relocated to one of our large common milkweed plants, which we expect to be decimated by tomorrow.

I'm sorry, I guess? They're so much faster to nick small plants than pruners, and I work with plants and dirt all day.

I think your phalange is fine OP, keep on pruning 👍🐛

💕 just finished a basket of raspberry leaves for tea, though the nails did get a quick scrub first. It's important to have clean pruners!

Agreed. I do the same at work too. It's much faster.
