If you’ve ever grown garden tomatoes, chances are you have dealt with hornworms. These green caterpillar pests can be found in most any region of the United States and can ruin your tomato crop in record time. And not just tomatoes, hornworms also feed on eggplants, peppers and potatoes.

They are about 5 inches long and are pale green with black and white markings, so they blend in quite easily with the green foliage. They feed non-stop, creating spotty and chewed leaves and fruit.

The worm (Helicoverpa armigera), also known as the tomato borer, tobacco caterpillar, and Old World caterpillar is a species of lepidopteran in the Noctuidae family whose larvae feed on a wide range of plants including cultivated plants. They are multifactorial and cosmopolitan pests.
