Despite its name, this little greenhouse intruder has a taste for spicy foods. I found this guy on my Carolina Reaper pepper. The hornworm is the larval (caterpillar) form of a moth. It can strip foliage very quickly and I was very happy to find him before he did much damage. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of these!
Hah!! I found a few of those after they stripped half of the plant!
This one seemed like he'd eaten quite a bit before he arrived so maybe he was slowing down!

The worm looks so cute @jaredcwillis !
I'm confused, what do you mean by "despite the name"? Wouldn't the appetite for hot food be in congruence with the name?
Tobacco? To me it seems like it would eat strictly tobacco
Silly me, i read it as tabasco😂😂
Ah, that would make sense
Those look really great! That's an awesome post ! @jaredcwillis thanks !
Nice insects
He wants to taste the spice of life and smoke weed I mean tobacco every day.
I can't blame him.
Haha
I toss every hornworm I find to my chickens. They go mad for them. That is unless it has eggs laid on it. Those I leave alone. They are a host to the beneficial Braconid wasp.
I was reading that! Unfortunately no eggs on this guy.
