Description
Back yard Tomato plant
Caterpillar - Tobacco Hornworm/Tobacco Hornworm Moth
3 ¾ inch. Long or 9.525 cm
This one all alone striped the leaves right down to the branch on three braches of one of my tomato plants over night. Little monster!
Hope you all enjoy and please zoom.
Thanks for the comments.

No wonder he looks chubby, amazing capture!!!

Well, at least you got a nice photo out of it - though photos don't taste as good in salads as tomatoes. Those black & white markings look eerily like eyes staring at you. Great work...

Awesome macro!!! Looks like he has a bunch of eyes.

Not that I feel happy about it, but I see, I am not the only one having creatures eating my plants :-) Hope you kindly moved him far away from your garden. Atleast you can do that. :D

It's kind of cute in an ugly way, though.

Last time I found one of these on my Pepper plant, I took him on a journey to the other side of the yard. I figured if he made it back he could stay. Nice shot.

I love the "eyes" on this little biological eating machine! I'm always amazed that they require so much, but considering that they go through a radical metamorphosis after spinning a cocoon, no wonder they need such a food intake. This not-so-little one's gonna be busy soon...and I'm glad you captured this little marvel. Okay, it's a walking defoliant, but still, it is such a marvelous creature. I almost wish there was an adult life form somewhere that looked like a caterpillar. They're so cute in an alien sort of way. This is a great capture with fantastic details.

He does look to be full of your tomato plant. A super capture.

I'll pass on the zoom, not that it isn't a great image, but these critters give me the creeps! : )

Excellent capture Kim. Is s/he still alive or did you end it all? :>) I would have at least put it out in the woods far away from your tomato plants. Dana
