WOW ForestDragon u are very intelligent
Thats super cool never knew that about the hornworm
These amazing large caterpillars (hornworms) are caterpillars of large moths called Sphinxes. The horn is not dangerous and contains no poison. The caterpillars can cause a lot of damage to tomato plants. They are often parasitized by Braconid Wasps (a type of tiny wasp).
Wow never heard that before i guess u gave me knowledge and and i gave u knowledge!!! LOL
Wow! I have seen tomato worms before, but I have only seen them with a blue horn, not a red one! How cool! Also, be careful, because I have heard that the spike on their back is poisonous.
