I didn't do a very good job of showing perspective in this shot, but that caterpillar is huge!! It was about 5 inches long and the size of a nickel in diameter.
We didn't have tomato hornworms in Oregon, so I've never experienced the pleasure of vegetable gardening with them before. Last night I was out in the garden and was checking on the roma tomatoes. It sounded like there was something mechanical munching in the plant. It was the disgusting hornworm chewing!! Who has ever heard a caterpillar chewing?! Ugh. It had it's smaller brother working on demolishing a branch right below it as well. Those two met their demise in a bowl of soapy water.
It's on hornworms.
This is war.
