GIANT Hawk Moth Catapillar Pic

[Nico]

I Was in the process of treating my plant with BT for catapillars.
Just before spraying I found this Monster.

I saved its life and put it elsewhere in the garden.
Just couldn't do it to this beast.

But the others are now BT'd so lets see if it works this stuff.



Check out its tail.... What a beauty.

It has been a long time but looks like what we used to find on our tomato plants further south back when I lived on a farm. Huge but very cool except for the damage they do.

I spray my tomatoes and mj and that's about it. Hornworms and bud worms mostly.

I grow fennel mostly for the butterfly caterpillars. They get eaten down to a nub, but usually recover. The butterflys are free.

I didn't know about the fennel until this year when I planted some just for the fun of it. Had several cocoons hatch from it. Very Cool

I grow butterfly weed for monarch caterpillars. Our grade school nearby every year has their first graders raise butterflies of different species and then they let them go so we always seem to have a variety of butterflies in the garden.
