Tomato Worms are pretty creative on how they manage to "surf" around the garden - Eventually this guy will become a Hummingbird Moth!

Jeff, this is an excellent capture! Wonderful detail, nice background that really makes this guy stand out! I didn't know this is where the Hummingbird Moth comes from, cool!This photo brings back a memory for me. My daughter is terrified of insects. A few years ago she went to our garden to pick tomotoes for me. Later, she was upstairs and I heard screams coming from her room. I ran in there thinking she was dying and she had one of these green guys on her pants leg! She thought it was a green string, reached down to pull it off and realized it was a worm! She was a teenager at the time. She came out of those pants quickly! It totally freaked her out! She has never forgotten it to this day and will not pick tomatoes for me ever again! #4843582
