This guy was eating a tomato plant today. I'm glad he is just 2 inches long. If he was ten feet long
I'd have to get out the .50 Hawken.

I believe he is looking at you, and you and you and................... Don
Which end is the front?
The left side is the front. I tell you this guy can really eat some tomato leaves.
eye see what you did there
Some sort of snake
Tobacco hornworm sure death and destruction on tomatoes and tobacco. Seven dust will kill them or just pick them off and stomp on them
Tomato worm. Turns into the Sphinx Moth you probably see flying around flowers in the evening like a hummingbird.
Tasty little buggers!
I'd call that bait!
I've stomped on quite a few over the years. They leave a slimy green splat that will make a grandkid shout; "EEEeeewwe!!" 😁
I also used to throw them to my backyard chickens. They would go into a fighting frenzy over them.
Kids used to shoot them with BB guns! Fun watching watching them "deflate".
Just feed it to your box turtles. Sphinx moths are great polinators and fun to watch. For years we grew datura, another deadly nightshade family plant. When horn worms appeared on the tomatoes, we moved them to the datura. They did not care and made months.
Truthful nailed it.
I agree they can strip a tomato plant in no time
just pick them off and feed to the chickens or another a another section of the yard Thay will nor get back to the mater plants from
by the way some caterpillar's can sting and do hurt dont ask how I know 😁
