Hornworm on Chocolate Hab...no longer with us.

Took shears and cut him in half.
Had these pests on my plants a few years ago..not happening again.
If you see them, remove and destroy every one otherwise, your plants are done.

Cool looking camouflage though, could be inclined to drop a few in a reptile tank with those eyes and funky teeth and horn… What do they turn into?

 

[moruga welder]

nasty a$$'s !   had them once , hard as hell to spot !     destroy !   

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

I had one on my tomatillo a few days back and I just poked a bunch of holes in him and made him suffer...one of the few things that are alive I am cruel to

i had moth's on my broccoli and tore the hell out of mine, but i torched them with a propane torch      i also do that with wasps in my shed, but i torch them with carb cleaner, makes it quick

 

[Baseman]

I had two of them yesterday...they met my torch lighter

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

Most of the time I wait for their natural wasp enemy to lay eggs but I was bored

Where you got one, you got another. Keep looking, those guys can be right in your face and you won't see them. The damage one can do is incredible. 

 

[BigB]

the only time i didn't remove & kill one was when I saw a bunch of white dangly little things hanging from it. it was creepy as F@#$ but apparently they were parasitic wasps....so yea, i guess that was a good thing

 

[gmen16]

I would probably call 911 if I saw one of these on my peppers

Bumper, they turn into a beautiful moth actually. Unfortunately, he's not getting the chance.
I usually go out at night when I get home from work with a flashlight.
Make sure to look under the leaves for white eggs.

Found a small one on one of my 7-pods today and he was violently introduced to the fence. Then I sprayed all the plants with BT....

 

[stoney's_ghost]

I will use BT but as a last resort.
I visually inspect my plants often..
I found they like certain plants.
Never found them on my Scorpions.
