I did not know that's where the Spinx moth came from, I think that is one of the neatest Moth's so I'll keep it alive

I love them but I pick them off desirable plants and put them on tomatoes that I grow specifically for them. The only hornworm that I don't like are the catalpa worms and that's because I get them by the hundreds, maybe thousands, yuck!
