Posted - Aug 11 2008 : 08:08:26 AM Yep, he's a hornworm! Found him online. Sad to say when they are pretty moths they look like this.

I'm assuming there are several others out there in the garden too. Out to check. Wish I had some chickens.... |

Posted - Aug 11 2008 : 08:01:21 AM I'd say a tomato hornworm. See the horn on his tail. When I see one (or sometimes several) I pick them off and give them to the chickens. They have a ball tormenting the ole boy. Serves him right, he was eating my tomato plants! |
