Tomato Hornworm

The Tomato Hornworm!

This little guy freaked me out a little bit!  I removed a tomato from the plant because the bottom was gross and had this guy staring back at me.  I don't remember ever seeing one before and I was quite taken back by it's size.
It was like an inch worm on steroids. It's silly I know, but it really freaked me out - not a bug and creepy crawly kind of a girl (duh!).

I found this webpage with more information about them: http://tammysrecipes.com/tomato_hornworms  
Quite interesting.
