  1. Hello Hugo! This is the caterpilla rof the five-spotted hawkmoth (Manduca
    quinquemaculata). This caterpillar, often referred to as the tomato
    hornworm, can be a major pest in gardens.

  2. Dice algo sobre que los gusanos son las criaturas màs hermosas del
    universo(universe)…

  3. De hermosas mmmmm. Digamos que son criatiras curiosas Como todas las de la
    creacion.

  4. I hate tomato horned worms! They look EVIL and are!

  5. this track is to think of the Sphinx caterpillar lime (Mimas tiliae) The
    food plants of the caterpillar are the leaves deTilleul, Elm, Alder,
    Birches, Oaks: it does not Nourishes the leaves of tomatoes.

  6. I’m sorry, lo siento, English or Spanish, but thank you for watching the
    video!!!

  7. ces chenilles font un grand et tres beau papillon de nuit je pense a La
    Chenille du Sphinx du tilleul (Mimas tiliae) Les plantes nourricières de
    cette chenille sont les feuilles deTilleul, d’Orme, d’Aulne, de Bouleaux,
    de Chênes. et il ne se nourrit pas des tomates.

  8. I hate them! Just one can eat up a whole plant over night! I pick them off
    and step on them. Nasty little creatures.

  9. Thank you very much, as much as I want to kill them I want to maintain them
    away from the garden, some one made a compound call compost tea and they
    apply it over the plants repealling pests from the gardens

  10. If you think you have overfertilized, flush the plants with water to help remove the excess fertilizer before it does any more damage. This is easier to do if the plants are in pots, but you can still do it if they are planted in the ground. Just let the water run through the pots for a few minutes and then let them drain really well. If you really burned them, they may not survive, but flushing is worth a try.
