Comment on Green Hornworms Destroy Tomato Plants. Chomp! Chomp! (Pictures) by Catharine

Just to make all the gardeners out their cringe, I’ll throw out this little tidbit… I was just at a reptile show and these little pest are now being sold as a great reptile food! With a fast growth rate, 24 days to maturity, they grow much faster than any other reptile food worm readily available. Because they fill with more moisture than other worms and have no exoskeleton they’re great for reptiles that easily run into digestion issues due to dehydration.

Ready for this? Brace yourselves! The hornworms sell for $11 per dozen!!!

Unfortunately, those of you with an infestation haven’t hit the jackpot though… I guess the tomato plant diet makes the garden variety hornworms toxic to most critters… The breeder raised variety are on what looks to be some sort of solid grain mash diet, and thus, not toxic due to their diet…

I thought some of you would be interested in that weird little solution to a terrible pest…

The praying mantis is my favorite insect! In addition to keeping beneficial bugs, I also use an organic pest control spray like End All to help the guys out if they ladybugs can't get every last aphid.

Great list! Love the mantis, I actually keep a ghost mantis and a lotus mantis when I can find them for an affordable price (as pets…yeah I’m weird, ill say it!)

You can actually get all kinds of beneficial bugs from some of the more organic, progressive garden shops.

Lady bugs and green lacewings are much better than praying mantids…because when they get bigger they love to eat bees and don’t really prefer aphids anyway. They eat good and bad insects non discriminately. But the others are always a plus in our gardens.
