Hyacinth Nemesis
I saw something like this last weekend at Brazos Bend State Park, and now it seems to be all over the place. One of the park rangers told me he didn't know what it was, though it definitely seems to be some worm or caterpillar attacking the water hyacinth that has almost overrun the park in the last few years. The water hyacinth is an invasive species that, as far as I know, does not have any natural control organisms/pests in these parts. It seems that one has arrived.
