               I to have only seen one this year. It was a small one, that had eaten 1/2 inch into a green tomato the size of a golf ball. The horn worm was about 1 1/4 inch long. This is the first one I have seen in my garden in 3 or 4 years. I better look closer there could be more.

               Found many last year but they were only about a 1/2" long. Get before they have a chance to fatten up on your plant.

               Are you sure it was not this? They look kind of similar.
