I know that everyone pulls these off their tomato plants and kills them.
I know they munch on the tomato leaves and poop on the plant.
That’s how I find them.
There is something that might make you pause before you murder one.
These big Tobacco Hornworm caterpillars (Manduca quinquemaculata)
turn into large Carolina Sphinx moths.
These moths come at sunset to my Four-o’clock flowers.
They are spectacular and magical. They are worth every leaf they eat.
Sometimes eggs of a parasitic wasp are laid on them. Ouch!
So be a good host to these giant, green munchers,
later you will be rewarded by flyers that look a lot like fairies.

How wonderful. I’d love to see pictures of the moth. Perhaps Google will oblige 😊

Beautiful shots. I think I now know why I have not been commenting – when I use the laptop I don’t get an option to comment – but I am doing so on the desktop.

I was worried that something had happened to you or Jackie. I had no time to check. Glad you are safe. As you see, I have hit a rough patch.
