Although you might have the day off for Labor Day, the To***co Hornworms (Manduca sexta) may still be hard at “work” in your garden. They’re found across most of the United States and are most abundant in the South. These hornworms feed on the leaves and fruits of tomatoes, peppers, and other members the nightshade family. Although you might not be a fan of them, this native caterpillar does turn into a beautiful moth - the Carolina Sphinx or To***co Hornworm Moth (see comments).

Because To***co Hornworms are often found on tomatoes, some people assume they must be the similar Tomato Hornworm. Not necessarily. Here are a couple of ways to tell them apart:

To***co Hornworms (Manduca sexta) have a RED or ORANGE horn with white and black diagonal LINES down their sides.

Tomato Hornworms (Manduca quinquemaculata) have a BLACK horn and white CHEVRONS down their sides.

We hope y'all are enjoying your tomato plants. Let us know if you need any more. 😁
