Description
Well I put together some pics of a Tobacco Hornworm Moth(Manduca sexta) caterpillar. The upper left one is a young one, the upper right one is a more mature one. The bottom left is a close up of the head of the mature one, so you can see its real legs,and not the flase suction legs. Now the bottom right one is what happens with certain wasp find one. The white eggs are from a parasitic wasp, eventually all the eggs will hatch and the caterpillar will die. They eat foliage of plants like tobacco, tomato, and potato. The moths are also known as "Carolina Sphinx","Six-spotted Sphinx", and "tobacco fly".
