August 9, 2020

Location: Vero Beach, private residence

I am known as a Tobacco Hornworm
I'm the caterpillar of the Carolina Sphinx
I'm known to defoliate tomatoes and peppers
If you were planning to make spaghetti sauce, this really stinks. 

Special thanks to guest photographer, Heather Stapleton.
