Description
The scary looking creature captured in this black and white photograph is a tobacco hornworm or Manduca Sexta. It is attached to a leaf on a tomato plant in my garden but I am leaving it because it is infested with parasitic Brachonid wasps and will soon die but more wasps will emerge from the cocoons to help control the voracious pests.
