Manduca sexta
large chubby green caterpillar-like worm, larger than an adult finger. adult form is a sphinx moth.
enjoys my garden! likes any plant in the solanacea family (tomato, tobacco)
eats tomato plants quickly, make sure to check for them often. usually defoliates at night and you're left with bare twigs!
