This
caterpillar of the Carolina Sphinx Moth is common to southern tomato gardens.
They have spectacular camouflage so their droppings and damage to plants are
observed before the worm is seen. They can reach a length of 4 inches.
Once found,
remove hornworms from the plant immediately. They are very slow and easy to
scrape into a container.
