Dang Tomato Hornworms!!!! !!*%#!**!!

For the second time in less than a week - we have had a VERY hungry Tomato Hornworm chomping on our three tomato plants! We had two last year nearly kill our jalapeno plants before we figured out what was happening.


This year, what tipped us off was all the greenish black poops that look like miniature grenades all over the patio and on the leaves of the tomato plant. My twins and I looked and looked - and the dang worms are always in plain site! Megan spotted it with her eagle eyes.

Could you see it? That sucker was longer and bigger around than my little finger! No joke. Here it is with Jason's hand next to it for comparison:


We found another one the SAME SIZE this morning. Crimony! Again - it was Megan's eagle eyes that spotted the thing hiding in plain sight.


They bleed green if you squash them. I think I will go and feed the catfish in the pond with it.
