Identification: They are voracious eaters and blend in with the foliage so well you don’t know they are there until you see bare stems. Tomato hornworms and their equally hungry cousins the tobacco hornworm can do lots of damage in a depressingly short amount of time. Tomato hornworms feed most often on tomatoes but will also eat eggplant, pepper, and potato plants as they are in the same family. Looking for the culprit you see an enormous alien-looking green caterpillar with white stripes and red dots down its back. After much anticipation, tomato season is finally here but something has been devouring the leaves on your tomato plant and even taken bites out of the green tomatoes.
