Looks like a tomato bug (polyphemus moth catepillar) to me

No idea, all I know is....ITS PEEING!!! lol

I found in under a tree. Do tomato bugs found near tomato plants? If so we don't have any... My neighbor does though... If that's it what will it turn into?

A moth of some sort, I believe.:main_yes:

 

[moosassah]

His tomats are safe. I'm not sure how they got that nickname.

Thanks guys... It's a crazy looking bug. It just startled me seeing a wormy guy so big and that color!

looks like a luna moth caterpillar to me

Jeanine was very close, but the slight difference in marking between the two moths is why I say Luna moth.

Aren't those the things with the eye looking things on their wings Paul? They are usually lime green right? Paul, look at my post #'s I am catching up with you! :main_thumbsup: Are you going to the October show in hamburg Paul? I am looking for 2 female cresties, some female leos and I am getting some velvets from Brandon. I am also looking for a tarantula. I dont like spiders, but I will get one anyway. I am also getting another corn. It will be a big show for me!

Good call Paul. I had to head back over to "What's that bug?" to figure out the difference. They are extremely close. The luna moth is a much cooler find in my book!

Both ar4e cool. I found a hornworm today in an oak tree of all places
