Y'all are just going to have to put up with stained-glass moths from me for a while, I'm on a roll. 😊
Today's is rather infamous, the death's-head hawkmoth (Acherontia atropos)!

Ugh. So, I had brought some of my pepper plants indoors, and found one of these decimating it! Sneaky little bugs! Be aware of signs of #Hornworm infestation! Especially after bringing in any nightshade species!

The enemy. So pretty. So hungry. Eating my tomatoes and looking gorgeous. #insects #hornworm #lepidoptera #gardening

Never thought I'd say this, but thank goodness for parasitic wasps.

I just picked off a big juicy one from one of my tomato plants, then moved it to the driveway, where a sparrow swooped down and made off with it for dinner!

Pulled 3 chonky hornworms off my pepper this morning.
5 from the tomato.
And their poop looks like tiny grenades. I'll leave you to google it.

Parasitized hornworm caterpillar - braconid wasps lay eggs under the caterpillar’s skin then grow in these cocoons until the cut themselves free. As much as I don’t want the hornworms eating my tomato plants, they do do a good deed by hosting these pollinating wasps. After they all hatched this morning - see the last two pictures - I put the poor hornworm out of its misery. #vegetablegardening #pests #hornworm #wasps #tomatoplant

That time that I bought a tomato #hornworm to feed to a freshly moulted #tarantula and it ended up as a five spotted #hawkmoth, sometimes called a #Sphinx moth, that I fell head over heals in love with.
The moth ended up living about ten days only. I didn't have them set up ideally, because a moth was unexpected, but they only live about two weeks in total.
Gorgeous creature. -
Found this Tomato Hornworm munching on some Virginia Creeper vine in our yard this morning. It was as big around as my index finger and slightly longer.
