I found this on the patio this morning.

I think it's a horned worm but I'm not sure. [https://photos.app.goo.gl/KxCDTHdoeVEN1KH48]
It's about four to four and a half inches long.

1. Looks like a horned tomato worm. (but, I'm not an entomologist)

They will munch through your tomato plants like a horse. I don't know what other plants it likes to eat.

4. I am not either

But I recognize that worm!

5. It'll munch through your garden like a weed eater!

Ripping and chewing until your plant is a stump, and in just a few hours! I once had several tomato plants that were devastated in just one morning by a herd of these hungry critters. 😫

8. Noooo!

Too bad the thc is not really available unless it is heat treated. That would be one effed up tomato horn worm!

10. I believe the saying is:

"Put that in your pipe and smoke it".

3. They love tomatoes. You see onw

You get rid of it.

6. If it lives, it will become a beautiful Luna Moth

maybe you can set aside a plant and let it be sacrificial and harvest the rest? It is late in the season after all.

9. If you see one with little white sticks in its back, leave it alone

There is a tiny wasp that lays eggs in hornworms. As the larvae grow, the worm is paralyzed and eaten. Then you have many tiny wasps that kill hornworms.
