Description
Back yard Tomato plant
Caterpillar - Tobacco Hornworm/Tobacco Hornworm Moth
3 ¾ inch. Long or 9.525 cm
This one all alone striped the leaves right down to the branch on three braches of one of my tomato plants over night. Little monster!
Hope you all enjoy and please zoom.
Thanks for the comments.

No wonder he looks chubby, amazing capture!!!
Well, at least you got a nice photo out of it - though photos don't taste as good in salads as tomatoes. Those black & white markings look eerily like eyes staring at you. Great work...
Awesome macro!!! Looks like he has a bunch of eyes.
Hungry little fella! Great capture Kim!
Little guys like this can cause a lot of devastation. Gorgeous macro of him.
this little guy is really hungry !! great closeup and details !!
Not that I feel happy about it, but I see, I am not the only one having creatures eating my plants :-) Hope you kindly moved him far away from your garden. Atleast you can do that. :D
Fantastic shot, outstanding details. It seems to taste him very good.
Fabntastic capture and photo , Kim !Splendid colors !
What white munchers it has!! Super shot Kim.
Exellent work.
Marvelous details Kim, spectacular photo!
It's kind of cute in an ugly way, though.
A beautiful little monster. Amazing capture of it, Kim; such clear macro shot. I see eyes on it, great!!!
Last time I found one of these on my Pepper plant, I took him on a journey to the other side of the yard. I figured if he made it back he could stay. Nice shot.
Excellent macro shot Kim. The details are awesome.
Very nice character. Great lighting and pose! Really nice work
be interesting to see what beauty this will turn out to be Kim, nice find.
WHAT A COOOOOL capture of this lil guy!!!
I love the "eyes" on this little biological eating machine! I'm always amazed that they require so much, but considering that they go through a radical metamorphosis after spinning a cocoon, no wonder they need such a food intake. This not-so-little one's gonna be busy soon...and I'm glad you captured this little marvel. Okay, it's a walking defoliant, but still, it is such a marvelous creature. I almost wish there was an adult life form somewhere that looked like a caterpillar. They're so cute in an alien sort of way. This is a great capture with fantastic details.
He does look to be full of your tomato plant. A super capture.
I'll pass on the zoom, not that it isn't a great image, but these critters give me the creeps! : )
Excellent capture Kim. Is s/he still alive or did you end it all? :>) I would have at least put it out in the woods far away from your tomato plants. Dana
first class macro and a beautiful caterpillar
He wanted some salad too I see. LOL!!! :))) The deer keep eating out pepper plants here. :( This is a excellent macro. :))))) Thank you for sharing all the beauty you see. :)))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :))))

Excellent Capture
Beautiful shot.
Looks like a Disney character :))
