| Hornworms are once again active. They have completely eaten a seedling and attacked a small tomato. Time to get out the scissors and flashlight and go hunting. |

| If the letter writter to Organic Gardening magazine is right an ultra violet (black light) would be more useful then a flashlight. The letter, on page 14 of the current issues, says those hornworms flouresce in UV light. |

| They can also be found in broad daylight, usually feeding in the shade of some foliage. They don't leave the plants during the day only to come out at night. |

| I seldom see these thing in the daytime, BUT, today I found a monster feeding on my Tasti Lee plant. I made short work of it with a pair of scissors. Messy, but effective. |

Looks like that thing ate the growing tip. It's not doing well. |
