Oh no! Do you have another? And are crab spiders dangerous?

Yes I found another light bulb. No crab spiders are not dangerous.

 

[R2elk]

yes they can do that much damage overnight!! and you most likely have more than the 1 you see......sevin dust

Nah just pick them off by hand.

Speaking of.... do you think the hornworm could have done this damage!? Whole entire top of one of the tomato plants was just gone overnight!!!

It was above the cage.

I always leave the ones that have been parasitized.

I’m gonna have to try that!! Cause I’m a little nervous about putting chemicals on the food haha

Yes, that's exactly what hornworms do

Oh wow! I didn’t realize the damage would be so fast or extensive!!! We thought maybe an animal ate it at first haha

I always leave the ones that have been parasitized.

I think I just read an article on this last night! Was mine parasitized??? I wasn’t sure.

If you pick them off yoir tomatoes very early in the AM you usually find more of them. They can get your peppers too.

I got praying mantises and have not had any tomato hornworms since. I do have the White-lined Sphinx Moth which is also a hornworm but their preference is the grape leaves.

Good, Sevin is really bad for honeybees. The workers pack it back to the hives and it kills off the whole hive.

The vegetables you buy the from the grocery store once had chemicals on them. You can't fart around and wait to get the bugs off of your plants or you won't have any plants left.

One of my tomato plants was topped like that yesterday. I didn't find any hornworms, but I did find a big, juicy grub. I picked it up and gave it to my quail.
