[QUOTE="catman529, post: 2839236, member: 9284"] "worm" is a pretty general term. It could refer to segmented worms, roundworms, wasp larvae, caterpillars, etc. Catalpa worms are caterpillars that pupate and emerge as a type of sphinx moth. Most sphinx moths have a horn on them when they are caterpillars which is why they are called hornworms. The carolina sphinx, aka tobacco hornworm, is the most common type of hornworm found on tomatoes, and anyone who grows them probably knows of the damage they can do. I used to catch and rear caterpillars and then either mount or release the adult specimens. I think the tobacco hornworm was the first one I raised. [/QUOTE]
