A parasitized Tobacco Hornworm that I found on my tomato plant on September 8, 2002. The parasites will eventually kill the larva.

Here's the culprit that's been eating my precious tomatoes. I think I'll put him in a jar.

The family and I were outside right before dark watching the hummingbird moth feed on our Four O' Clocks. They stayed feed for over 20 mins not even caring we were there. Absolutely beautiful.

A Manduca sexta is transferred out of the garden, deposited elsewhere to await the magic of it's future.

A Manduc sexta was found in our pepper plants enjoying a tasty, albeit uninvited, buffet for one. He will be spared, at least in our gardens.

Found a second one on my tomato plant, but it had parasitic eggs on it, so I left it for them.
