Title: Manduca Quinquemaculata
Post by: Rob'in'To on September 19, 2013, 10:48:17 AM

Found this guy in the garden.  He's nearly 5 inches long and has one hell of an appetite.  His common name is Tomato Horn Worm.  I sure would love to see him in his moth state.

I'm not sure why I cannot get the whole photo of the worm in the first shot to post.  I reduced the picture size by half.  If you click on it, you will see the whole worm, and his horn on his back end.

I see it fine.  Might be your cookie settings showing you the old format.  Happens to me too with photobucket.
