They must be really tasty. Looks like he took a big bite! He seems to be asking God to forgive him for what he just did:)

It is like living in a rainforest . I now have to check the plants on a daily basis. No more eating of my tomatoes !

Just remember .. this ugly hornworm will one day grow up to be a beautiful Hummingbird Moth!

I plant an extra tomato plant or 2 away from the others & hand transfer them to it when I find them. Saves what is mine & lets them grow up to be pretty critters in my garden later.

It's nice that you share your garden with others. Had a chance to see your flicker site and was very impressed, GeezerGal. ;-)

Good photos, Mac. He/she must have a voracious appetite. Is the tail spike dangerous?

is there anything organic you can spray them with. I'm in Florida and mine are getting to much water, it rains 4"-6" every night then the sun is so intense they are not getting big. This was my first, I picked the second last night. what's doing good is my plumb tomato's. anyway great shots......
