Plus this (fresh droppings) -
Equals this (culprit) -
Do you see the critter? Can you find him?
We've found (8) of these tomato hornworm munching on our tomato plants so far. I'm a little surprised to find so many, especially with having all of our tomatoes, like so many other folks on the East coast, wiped out last year by the blight. Perhaps, that alone explains why there are so many this year - they're hungry from having no tomato plants to dine on last year.
In any event, the chickens LOVE em! Toss one in at a time and watch the ladies battle for it.

You need to get you some of those (nasty, awful) wasps that paracitize hornworms. *shudder*
