Tomato hornworm.

Most pesticides will get rid of them. If you don't want to use pesticides just keep an eye out of them and kill when you them

I can't ID, but I will tell you to eliminate with extreme prejudice. Those bastards took out half my garden one year in a couple days. I's not a tomato hornworm. I recently killed a pair of those in my garden and they were very easy to ID.

Maybe. Here's one of the bastards that wrecked me a while back.



And here's the hornworm we pulled out of the garden the other day.

don't know what that is, but I can tell you if there is another, it will eat yoru plants down to a damn stem...

go and get yourself some sevin dust...been around for decades and is cheap, yet very effective, also not very toxic at all to humans and pets...if your grandmother had a garden, she used sevin dust in it...

Seven will work. But you might want to try Eight in case the one you have gets left out, just in case.

That looks like one of those caterpillars that ate a bunch of leaves off some of my trees.
