Manduca quinquemaculaata
"Tomato Hornworm"
Do you know how to spot a Tomato Hornworm in your garden? Just look for the doo-doo, which you can see on a leaf
at the bottom of this photo. When these caterpillars get out of control, they can really take a toll on your tomatoes, both
plant and fruit. They have such an innocent "who me?" face but don't be deceived by their sweetness. This was a big
fat one, about 2 inches long. © Carol Davis, 9-14-2007
