I found my first Tomato Hornworm today. I'd only ever heard of them, and I didn't know what the cute little green caterpillar was when I found it clinging to the underside of a tomato leaf. So, it came home with me to be identified and shown to my daughter.
Much to my chagrin, it seems that my over-exuberant tomato plants are now a very large buffet. It's quite likely that the little green monster isn't alone. They never are.
