  • SAY NO TO PESTICIDES OF ANY KIND!

    There are simple inexpensive ways to kill poisons

    or bacteria's on your produce.

    Fill your sink 1/2 full,,,ADD 4 TBS salt,then a half squeezed lemon.

    soak fruits and veggies for 5 minutes and it will kill it DEAD!

    the mixture will make a Natural Hydrochloric Acid that will destroy pesticides and bacteria on your produce.

  • whats the best food for horn worms if i want to breed them.

  • @amirakitty i feed them to my reptiles

  • i caught 2 of them i named mine hank and stan

  • i just caught a Tabacco hornworm caterpillar eating my green tomatoes, i was looking up what it's called and found this :3 he's cute and i named him Herman. I love all his cute eyes, he's very happy eating my tomatoes so give him little tomatoes from myy garden. I love him, hopefully my cat will leave him alone.

  • You should read up on that... The Tobacco Hornworms real name is Carolina Sphinx Moth.

  • Tomato/tobacco hornworm caterpillars do NOT turn into hummingbird moths, they turn into tomato/tobacco hornworm moths. The caterpillar of the hummingbird moth eats plants of the honeysukle family not tomato & tobacco plants. The hummingbird moth is unique in that it actually does resemble a hummingbird. Look it up if you are interested. (The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Insects and Spiders was used as my reference for this information as well as personal experience)

  • oh god this is pretty huge...i would like to have that in my tomatoes...
