leave those worms with eggs on its back alone because when the wasps hatch they kill other hornworms

Close but no cigar. That is Manduca sexta, not M. quinquemaculata. You will find the sextas outnumber quinq's by well over 500 to 1 in the wild.

I have one worm with those eggs on filmed, I´ll see if I find that :)

[Legendhouse]

I looks like once the eggs are layed it's too late.I pulled them off but the worm isn't growing or eating much.

Sorry, those are cocoons of the finished wasp. The cat is doomed, and will die--suffering more from malnourishment now, than misery.

The moths are marvelous, and quite beneficial to many night-blooming plants.

Nice Job! They got some of my tomatoes before. I don't know what they turn into. I know they sure can eat!! Thanks!*****Duke

[Legendhouse]

Thanks. They turn into some kind of moth. I'll catch that on video too.

[yogaduke]

Thanks that would be cool to see! I give them the big squash when I see them. I just 1 night the can do so much damage!

[Legendhouse]

I normally would but this plant never amounted to anything. Both worms were spiked with the wasp larvae and I puleed them off. They don't seem to be eating much anymore. The don't seem to be moving around the plant much either.

Hey, that's a cool intro you made with your logo! I really like it.

These worms have interesting markings and colors. The one with parasites doesn't look like a happy camper, though.

Great!

My first HD worm.
