I noticed my tomato plants were looking a little eaten, and wondered what the heck enjoys snacking on tomato vines?!? That plant often falls prey to disease in our garden, but rarely gets chewed up...

Then I noticed the culprit. Can you see him yet?

Yeah... it's a hornworm, which turns into (what's commonly called) the Hummingbird Moth. And apparently you can take a black light out at night (in an attempt to find them) and they glow. Cool, eh?
