Your tomato hornworms seldom travel alone. They hatch from the eggs laid by a
moth, usually in multiples. They prefer 'maters but will gladly munch peppers
as well. I watched one try to eat a tepin last year, and when he (she, it) got
into the membrane, he started thrashing violently and spitting green juice. I
had a good laugh and stomped him into next week. I found five in that hatch and
sent them all into the future in the same way.
