I'm in Entomology this semester, and one of my projects is to rear an immature insect to its adult stage. Enter Hank, the Tomato Hornworm. I actually only have Hank because I found him while looking for food for my other Tomato Hornworm, Robert (http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/.....7/img0483a.jpg). Hank is bigger and I like the photo better, so here you go. x3 As long as he hasn't got parasitic wasp eggs in him he should pupate next week. I'll submit more pics as I go along with these two.
Squishy and cuuuuute. x3 And good lord, pooping MACHINES. I am constantly cleaning out their little tubs of tomato leaves so they don't DROWN in their own poop. >_>; At least I know they're happy. XD
If the photo size is too big, let me know. I like it huge because you can really see Hank, but I know it's big enough to stretch the page. SORRY. 8D

They really are, and the moths (http://statistics.arizona.edu/zeeb/.....uemaculata.jpg) are beautiful as well. x3
He did! Here are some pictures of him:

Yup! http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/.....o/P1070460.jpg <-- That's Hank after he turned into a moth. They end up about the size of your hand. x3
