Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk MothsInsect/Caterpillar photos you might like
Dear Bugman,
I am attaching some photos I thought you might like. I enjoy gardening and photography (very amateur) and have managed to get a couple of fairly decent insect photos. I’m including a picture of a Tobacco Hornworm I found on my tomato plants. Unfortunately, he made good time on the buffet and decimated one of my plants. He arrived about 2-3 weeks after the Vine Sphinx moth I found bumbling around my garden. (Photo attached). I also found a katydid and snapped a nice picture of her, as well. Please feel free to use them in your educational pages/projects.
Jennifer
PS. None of them were harmed after the photo ops, just hand removed from my garden. I, too, have an ethical issue with unnecessary carnage.
Hi Jennifer,
Though all of your photos are quite nice, we are limiting our posting to the Vine Sphinx, Eumorpha vitis vitis.
