Ugh! Those tomatoes are breakin’ my heart! You DO know that the larva of the Hummingbird Moth is the Tomato Horn Worm, right? ;)

They are fascinating, though.

Yep, I hand pick hornworms when I find them and toss em into the pond for a fish snack. Between the blight and the excessive rain and Peter Cottontail munching on the low hangers this has been a rough tomato season at my house. One or two worms can’t make things much worse. lol
