I was excited when corn husks finally grew on my corn plants but then one started looking a bit odd, so I took a look at it and found this creature inside. Can you tell me what it is please?

You can also get an identification from the county extension service. This link will help you locate the nearest one: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/what-is-extension-service.htm
