Tomato Hornworms Part 2



I found a single, small (about the size of a pin head) round yellowish-green egg on my tomato plants, and I immediately suspected the tomato horn worm. I checked with Cahri’s Bugs Online, and my suspicions were confirmed! By this time, I noticed a few chewed leaves, and looking carefully, I found the small tomato hornworm. I removed him from the plants before he could do any more damage and looked around for more eggs. They too were removed. Hopefully that will protect the plants for a few days. But I’ll keep an eye out.
