Rivenrock organic insect control
Tomato hornworm, this critter is ugly and scary as heck,
but it will NOT sting you with it's 'phony' stinger. But it
will eat lots of tomato family leaves, so pick them off individually or
spray/dust with a BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) mix. This mix is a virus
that only harms cattaerpillers, so is safer than other insecticides and
is generally approved for organic use.
For the most extensive, easy to use, and beautifully done site
full of great photos of insect pests, The best site I have yet seen is
. The
insect and pest slide show.
