Comments (11)From what the Internet said a" hummingbird moth" is not a danger to my plants as they suck nectar out of a straw like pipe or something and that is not saying when they are in the caterpillar stage it doesn't eat leaves.I found this picture on the Internet and looks like this. Not sure if it is the same as a horn worm but if I saw a worm like that I would have a tendency of squashing it too. I once found an ugly pack rat in a shed and squashed it between two sheets of plywood screaming the whole time,then flushed it down the sewage clean out stand. I had nightmares of it for weeks about those beady black eyes so may not flush them. We don't live there anymore lol...See MoreCaterpillar eating my tomatoes

Comments (3)I use BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) on my grape vines to keep the grapeleaf skeletonizers off. It works well but you have to apply it every few weeks and after rain. Supposedly it works with all caterpillars or worms that eat plants....See MoreBabka NorCal 9b
