Oh, dear! I will knock on wood first… I haven’t had any hornworms since I moved to my current home in 2011. Boy, did I have them before though! I never say a baby one though, they seem to burst forth that large. They come out of pretty big pupae though, so maybe they are never tiny enough to miss. Fascinating to raise one! And such pretty moths.

Hello Lisa! Good you haven’t seen any for a while. I have seen a few smaller ones this year, but not much smaller. A few days ago I found one under a leaf that was short and fat and quite odd looking. I guess he was a baby. 🙂
