Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

oh please spare me 
these are the same people that when you tell them what you believe get pissed off and call you crazy
we/im not going to hell because some loon says we are and over an insect PLEASE
kill them or they will destroy your garden,oh put them somewhere else like your neighbors garden down the street that's a real; nice thing to do all in the name of sentiment, if your going to spare them at least check to see if they have the telltale white tassels on there back. they are the larvae of the parasitic wasp , put them in a jar with holes big enough for the wasps to leave but not the hornworm, the wasps eventually consume and kill the worm, worm prob solved, if there are no tassels kill them on sight!!
im pleased to say im not the nut anymore LOL (well maybe just a little)
thanks your friend joe
