I found this big boy munching away on my little pear tomato plants today.I ususally find at least 4 of these tomato worms on my plants every year.
He really has great markings on him or her.

He does seem rather happy munching. Do you know a good site for catterpilars? I tried to find pics to id one in my strawberries and couldn't find it on any that I tried. Thanks!

Those green Hornworms really gross me out when I find them on my tomatoes! Now that I'm being inspired to feed all these various caterpillars to see the butterfly, can anyone tell me what these turn into?
