Tomato Hornworm

This tomato hornworm was found next to my tomatoes in a film of water trapped on the black plastic mulch. I didn't find any missing leaves, but the size would indicate it had been feeding for sometime. The storm on Thursday must of dislodge it. Hand removal is easiest for a typical tomato planting. Many insecticides are available for treatment. To learn more about them, click on link. http://www.hfrr.ksu.edu/DesktopModules/ViewDocument.aspx?DocumentID=1729
