  • why am i watching this and how did i get here.

  • I had four on one tomato plant...so I drowned them in soapy water. I wouldn't be so angry with them if they weren't so hard to remove...

  • Please find them a groundcherry, horse nettle or silverleaf to put them on, so they can continue to feed. They are host-specific, and only eat nightshades.

    That cat was a tobacco hornworm. It spit because you were squeezing too hard.

    School teachers love them for science/nature studies, too.

  • @S0XF0X yea i do the same thing i have 3 soon to have 4 they were on my moms topsy turvy tomato plant! any way if you see eggs on its back or little parsites kill it because the worms (wasp larvea) will eat it alive which is torture for it 

  • @philofthefuturr yea i have 3 as pets lawl

  • Haha, it's a shame these guys can be such pests in the gardens as kids. When they're adults, they turn into important night pollinators. I found one on my tomato plants, and decided to pick him off and bring him inside. I cut him a branch from my tomato plant to gnaw on, and will look for other plants he can eat that aren't in my garden, so he can grow up. Great video!

  • I kinda felt sorry for it though and it seemed so innocent and harmless when you were carrying it. I can appreciate the aesthetic beauty of the caterpillar, but .... it must die! 

  • Yuck

  • Haha,I'm growing tomatoes just to get these worms to feed to my reptiles:)..(but I do like tomatoes)
