I have found two of these so far, i dont want to kill them so i put them in an insect container with dirt and tomato leaves, until it turns into a moth :)
I found two on my tomato plant and it was killing it, so i took them off, got an insect aquarium together put dirt in the bottom and put them in there and i put tomatoes and stems in there until they burrowed into the dirt and changed into their cocoons, no i am waiting until they turn into a hawk moth, i will photograph them and then release them, i can't kill anything, it makes me very sad, so they will be free in the spring!
Attack the Solanaceae, especially tomatoes, potatoes and snuff, is of greater importance in snuff as an insect defoliator and this directly harms the crop is marketed.
The damage they do the larvae consume entire leaves, starting from the edge toward the center of the sheet. They can also eat stems, inflorescences and developing fruits.
