I love these guys. Boy will they destroy some tomato plants though, so I pull any tomato hornworms off that I find, and raise them indoors. Behold the beautiful Five Spotted Hawk Moth 💜 #fivespottedhawkmoth #tomatohornworm #hawkmoth #sphingidae #sphynxmoth #sphinxmoth #moth #moths #Lepidoptera #bombycoidea #winged #wings #nocturnal #metamorphosis #princessagatha #mothgirl #buggirl #redlipstick #insect #insecthobby #southcarolinainsects #bugkeeping #bugkeeper #buglover #entomology (at Pixieland Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR0c5tZnjns/?utm_medium=tumblr

I accidentally stumbled upon this poor #Fivespottedhawkmoth chrysalis whilst digging near the chicken coop. #ManducaQuinquemaculata must've come from the large and bushy tomatoes that were once growing right above her. I found her a new home while construction is underway. I'd say she's about a week away from hatching. (at San Diego, California)
