I love the tomato hornworm! I hate the tomato hornworm!
What I mean is I think they are really cool BUT I don't like them eating the tomato plants. I haven't found any in my garden yet but maybe that's because the two that I found last year had parasitic Braconid Wasp cocoons on them. The tiny benificial wasps can wipe out the entire hornworm population.

Luckily, I've found none so far! I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because I know it really is just a matter of time.
Nonetheless, it is beautiful. I like this blog, Leslie, great pictures!

Looks like you need some of those. Great picture!
My chickens have eaten the two I have found. It's quite fun watching them fight over those gross things, actually...
