Thank you very, very much
- I hope this was ony the beginning. You did wonderfully, GP!  - and those tomatoes must taste really good ... I can't believe it that your giant caterpillar is I would never have imagined you had it in Florida as we do in Denmark. But then again, liguster hedges are kind of popular on both sides of the pond. I had a lot of those. Fancy, fat ones with that hook and lilac stripes ...  - long time no coffee ... |

Need the coffee after hunting THOSE monsters! Haven't gotten to eat more than ONE tomato since the season started thanks to these and another brown green caterpillar that was INSIDE the tomatoes with holes and I tossed over the back fence the minute I saw it move in there!

Didn't know they were that aggressive toward tomatoes
- you don't deserve that - you'll not like this: I was told that apple worms never ate anything but apple, so no reason to fly off the hook ....  How was the single tomato? Have another cup of the Italian roast |

The question that's bugging me [pun alert!] is - WHAT DO THEY TURN INTO?????
The one tomato was so good I'm gonna fight 'em for the rest. |

Here comes the test - can you spot them when camoflaged on the vine?

Yes, I see it, but it's cleverly camouflaged.
Good shot, GP! And I wasn't happy to put my hand on one when I wasn't looking. Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! That's the normal reaction from non-collectors of live ones ... he-heIt's was very good, firm larvae to handle (I liked snails, too) After hibernation in a redbrown pupa, it emerges as:  which is pretty big - wingspan 12 cm - some 4.7 inches - and one I don't remember seeing, strangely enough. They must be there, tho, with all those larvae and maybe even in larger numbers in Florida. And what I called liguster is privet in English (Ligustrum Ovalifolium). That's their main diet, it says, but they also like ash trees, lilacs, jasmine - and as you demonstrate: Tomatoes. |
