What the ...

is this...?


This is the creepiest catapillar I have ever seen.  Usually catapillars are somewhat cute and harmless... this little bastard destroyed our tomato plant in under 24 hours... of course he had help from his little friend...


this is my poor tomato...

After a little research I found out that these little destroyers are called Tomato Hornworms and are very destructive to plants if not removed immediately.  They turn into the hummingbird moths... although ours aren't turning into anything other than fertilizer.  More info on them here.
