So I really liked your link but was confused about the difference between tomato and tobacco worm. What did I have ? I dont remember a red tail and can those sting ? I have seen those moths and I find them fascinating . I didnt see the worm again today but now I kinda want to go buy some tomatoes. LOL

I don't think there is a huge difference. The caterpillars and moths look a little different. We don't have tobacco worms out here. If you can post the pic again, I might be able to tell.

they both turn into the same moth ?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I dont know if it matters but we grow tobacco here. I dont know east of this or west of that. LOL

So think yours is a tomato hornworm. It doesn't have black lining along the white stripes. One moth has 6 orange spots and the other (tomato) has 5 orange spots on its body. Gotta love entomology! https://entomologytoday.org/2013/12...ference-between-tomato-and-tobacco-hornworms/

No goat babies, and all the roos are fighting, right down to the little tractor babies. I'm listing hona pairs for sale tomorrow.
