Not decoded, decided. Not sure how to edit my post to fix that.

Unless you have chickens to feed this to, make sure you squish it and then light it on fire to serve as a warning to all the other tomato horn worms out there

It aucks to kill anything, but these need to be picked and drowned. Just the way it is.

You, too, have been visited by the very hungry caterpillar! It’s actually impressive how much damage a single hornworm can do in a very short amount of time. Check your other plants too of you have others. Keep in mind that they’re surprisingly hard to spot to be so darn huge. Also, they glow under a blacklight, so if you have one, shine it on your plants at night and they’re pretty easy to spot.

An asshole. At least that’s what I call them.

Get to work w/ a black light and find the rest. If there’s one that big, there are likely more

Toss it in the middle of the road and wait for birds to find it, or use it for fishing. Bass love them, so do crappie, and turtles.
