#texashugel

These mofos were the 7th and 8th tobacco hornworms that I found on my tomatoes. These are the largest of the bunch but still quite small in comparison to caterpillars I have found in the past. The larger one is probably 2 inches. I think the adult form of this may be a beneficial insect, but these buggars can make quick work of my tomato plants, so they were quickly dispatched with my hand pruners. Let me tell you that it was incredibly gross...and I felt bad about doing it...but not bad enough to keep them around. #hornworm #tobaccohornworm #manducasexta #thismofo #thismoforighthere #texasgarden #texasgardening #hugelkultur #texashugel #hugel #gardenpests (at Cedar Creek, Texas)
