tomato (or maybe tobacco) hornworm. A pest on a volunteer tomato, but i dont have the heart to kill it when it’s so friend shaped. I’ll probably go back out and get it in a container to raise into a moth.
It’s so soft and velvety, it’s just awesome. I know gardeners are supposed to hate them but hes just a little guy, yknow?
Strangely, this is the first one i’ve seen in our garden in recent memory, even with the same cherry tomatoes coming back year after year from the soil bank/fruits. Thankfully the plant it’s on is large and sprawling.
