Tobacco Hornworm, http://yardener.com/YardenersPlantP...cts/PestInsectsInTheVegetableGarden/Hornworms Yup, found one of these critters in my garden munchin on my pepper plants, well, what's left of my pepper plants. The one in my garden is a good 3.5" long!! Grrr, its MY garden!!!
Ha! I pulled one out of the tomatoes and threw it in the pond. I figured a big ole' bass would love it. One little guy went after it, but dropped it, and nothing else would touch it! Those things give me the willies.
I never thought about offering them a one-way ticket on a bottle rocket..... thanks for the idea clyde.
Well, lets just say that "hornet & wasp killer" will kill these things too!! I actually think his insides liquified. If I didn't live in the city limits I just might try the firecracker or bottle rocket thing.
Les Stroud would toss it in the campfire ashes and toast it for breakfast...think I'm waitin for egg mcmuffinsfrom the production truck..
