That is one big "A" worm. A tomato hornworm, sometimes 3.5-4 inches long. My friend did not appreciate my trying to pass it off as produce.

How cute! Means the tomatoes are healthy. I had one as a "pet" once. Had a couple of plants in pots. He had one plant to himself, until he took a walk and got fried on the hot pavement (in the desert).

I'm back to vote again - do you know you are like the fifth person this week who I swear I voted on and then find when re-visiting that I haven't???????? Am I that inept at working the damn mouse? I don't know! I haven't even had a glass of wine this evening. I KNOW I just voted "yes" - so I'll come back around again and see if it tries to trick me again.

Interesting looking green worm. It seems very content being photographed with the vegetables.

Definitely delectable apart from the Hornworm, which must be related to our similarly sized Hawk Moth Caterpillar. (www.jpgmag.com)
