| I don't mind them eating some foliage, but this year they seemed to have a real taste for the green fruit. Many years I only have a couple and I will let them be, they are very beautiful in their way. Nice pictures! |

| Surprisingly, I spotted my first ever hornworm this summer, and I saw it on the top of my tomato plant from 50 feet away. I think it was more the big lump on a thin branch that give it away though. |

| I hear you. This year I had some in my tomatoes and found one in my peppers. They can do a lot of damage in a hurry. I found another one just this morning and I have been looking for him for several days. |
