Unlucky Hornworm

This Sphinx moth caterpillar has the pupae of the Catesia wasp on its back.
It will not be eating my tomatoes! I have seen many Hornworms like this in my garden.

A great closeup - I had to look it up on Goggle...a bit creepy!

[Shutterbug]

If they hadn’t ruined so many of our tomato vines, I might feel sorry for it. But now I’d say that looks like a great organic way to take care of them.
