Those arm sized tomato worms are the larvae of another sphinx that's much larger, also called a hornworm moth. All of them are called Hummingbird or Hawk moths. Tomato worm moth, as wide as your hand: “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

We rarely get hummingbirds here, but most years a bunch of these are mistaken for birds... Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I know you've got pHD in something Slummy So not only asbestos, but pesticides - I'm impressed you're still with the living. You the Orkin Man?

Quite the couple Originally Posted by slumlord We have to not only identify insects, but also their turds, their frass, their drill holes, their nests, etc, etc. Now that is truly disgusting. Don't they make an industrial grade pesticide that kills everything on the planet so you don't have to know all this schist? (side effects include peeling skin, hair loss, vomiting, diarrhea, etc) Speaking of excrement, maybe an honorary degree in Scatology?
