Tomato Hornworm

Hei everyone, it's me again! Today I found something new in my garden which is tomato hornworm.

Tomato Hornworm or the scientific name Manduca quinquemaculata (Haworth), is a common garden pest that feeds on plants including tomato, eggplant and potato. This caterpillar have a unique 'horn-like' that gives them their name. Is the horn poisonous? The answer is nope. The horn makes it look fierce and dangerous, but the horn is not a stinger. The caterpillars are harmless to humans and can be picked off plants without danger.
