Tomato hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata) is a tomato pest with a big appetite! If left unchecked, it can consume a single tomato plant in just a couple of days. Itâs regularly confused with the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta), which is strikingly similar. Both feed on members of the Solanaceae (nightshade family) such as tobacco, eggplant, peppers, potatoes â¦ and of course tomatoes.
Tomato hornworms can be up to 5 inches longâwhich can be quite a shock when you first come across one! They do the most damage in the caterpillar, or larvae, stage. They are pale green with white and black markings, plus a horn-like protrusion. The caterpillar also has eight V-shaped stripes on its green body. (They are not capable of stinging.) Tomato hornworms come from a mottled brown moth. The larvae blend really well with the plant greenery. Just get used to a daily patrol, looking for hornworm eggs and small caterpillars. Here are some cues of infestations: Look closely at the TOP of your tomato leaves for dark green droppings left by the larvae feeding on the leaves. Then look at the underside of leaves and youâll find a hornworm.
