Where's Wormo?

PepperJam · Jun 23, 2011

Find the worm-os! I found 2 in my square foot garden, one was starting to eat my bhut plant stem, another my habs' leaves, and it started chewing some jalpeno fruits, and 1 in my potted area, where it ate my brain strain stems!

They got what they deserved.

Tomato Hornworms and unfortunately, where you have two, there are probably at least 5 more.

Yes, cut them in half. What is interesting is they still have a good grip on the stem. Had to cut the stem to throw them away.

We can get Horn Worms as feeder insects for reptiles and other pets up here, but they are fed a type of paste.

Apparently it is dangerous to feed your pets wild caught Horn Worms, because oftentimes they are poisonous to pets because of the food they eat...tobacco or other phyto-toxic crops.

Yeah this site sells horn worms and their chow, silk worms, superworms, butter worms, wax worms and a whole lot more.

I order from them and raise flightless fruit flies and springtails for my Carnivorous Plants.
