Spotlight: Tobacco Hornworm Caterpillar
The tobacco hornworm caterpillar, Manduca sexta, likes to feed on tobacco, tomato, and pepper plants. These caterpillars will turn into Carolina sphinx moths, but when they pupate, they do not spin a cocoon; instead they burrow into the soil. This is how they overwinter in colder regions.
