HornwormsWhat is this?
My daughter and I found this under the ground, it was shallow in the dirt. What is it??? Is it a larva or moth, it wiggles and looks like it might have wings in there? We are dying to know what this is.
THANKS

Hi Therese,
I’m guessing you two were digging in the vegetable garden near the tomato patch. This looks like a Tomato Hornworm, one of the Sphinx Moths. The pupa of many Sphinx Moths look very similar.
