Saved by my dog this morning and she ran off over by the tomatoes. We were about to leave and I wouldn't have caught these guys for another 6 hours or so! My 3 plants were fine yesterday now one is almost half bare ☹

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I have only seen one of them on a tomato plant I purchased at the local supermarket. My cat got it and beat it to death. What does the adult form look like?

Believe it or not....I've been gardening since I was a kid...and I've lived in 11 states...and I've never had to deal with tomato worms. I've only even seen them in pictures. Little buggers.

You are lucky, they are and very large and hungry.
They're viscous!
They are very well camoflaged.

MsAl:
It took my daughter a very long time to see when I was showing her. I think she was looking for a little worm since she never saw them before
@MsAl Suddenly she sees Mothra. 
MsAl:
@Surfpirate I was actually kinda disappointed at how unimpressed she was when she finally saw. She freaks out over spiders but apparently giant monster worms are no big deal?! Mabey it would be a different story if she found one in the bathroom though.. (as opposed to a spider, not putting them in the bathroom, purely hypothetical)

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
