such a gorgeous caterpillar, too bad it's sooooo destructive! At least, the tomato variety is! Assuming the tobacco variety is equally voracious. nice shot, Carol!

Carol Senske replied:

I've been picking them off the tomatoes - some are quite large already. These both will eat like pigs! LOL Thank you for the visit and comment.

Thanks, Elvira!

Is it OK to call it (him?) cute? I have never seen such a fascinating caterpillar! Great shot, Carol - you are so good at finding little creatures :)

Carol Senske replied:

People freak out when they find them eating their tomato plants, but I try to relocate them. It's hard to find the right food plant. They are handsome, don't you think?

Terrific image Carol, you've captured so much detail.

Carol Senske replied:

Thanks:>). I think they are rather pretty and their feet are cute. LOL

What a beauty! Great find and image Mother Nature.

Hi, Doris! So nice to see you here. I hope your holidays are the best! Christmas seems to be an on-rushing freight train this year - LOL. Thank you for visiting and commenting.

I love this guy! I say guy because of the pose :).But I guess he is not popular in some circles .. Their design is very interesting. VFT Interesting description.

Carol Senske replied:

He's really handsome (and a bit horny), but I guess that goes with being a guy - LOL. We are getting as many of these fellas as we have tomatoes growing. If we left them on the plants there would be no leaves! I haven't seen any that are parasitized, which is a bit unusual - I prefer to let nature take care of the population and I hate taking them off and putting them in the weeds just hoping they find food. Thanks a zillion and one for the VFT and the lovely comment:>)

I just hate that I get so far behind so fast!! Carol this is a fabulous macro - fantastic detail!! F/V

Carol Senske replied:

Well, Lianne. I am now so far behind I think I'm ahead! Somehow I need to organize but so far no luck! I'm behind and that's all there is to it - maybe someday I'll be caught up bu that seems to be wishful thinking. Thank you for this lovely, lovely compliment and the V/F.

Artist's Description

The only way I know how to differentiate this caterpillar from the Tomato Hornworm is by the color of their "horn". If black, it is the Tomato variety; if red, it is the Tobacco variety. This caterpillar is pretty big and I'm betting on it being the Tobacco Hornworm. Cute caterpillar:>) The horn here is red.

They are considered pests of the plants in the nightshade family or Petunias, too. We do pick hem off our tomato plants and try to find something wild for them to chow down on, like nightshade. More often than not we see the eggs of a Braconidae wasp on the more grown up caterpillars, so many do not survive to adulthood in our area.

Here is a bit of a write up on them:

About Carol Senske

Carol Senske

I always wanted to try photography, and my retirement offered an opportunity to do just that. The natural world is my first love. Here you will find pictures of things both large (landscapes, for instance) and small (macro) that catch my eye. I hope the images serve as a window into the natural world many of you don't have the chance to see. In a sense, I'm trying to create a guided nature trail, sharing what information I have about the subject. I'm always grateful for new and better information and welcome all input. Learning is food for the mind and soul. Nothing is ever harmed in the picture-taking process, but some things that wander into our home (like spiders) are carefully removed from the house after they serve as "models"....
