Check this guy out. I found him while the wife was trimming the plants in the backyard. She cut his branch off with A hedge trimmer but missed him without knowing he was there. I saw him on the ground on that little branch hso I stuck him back in the plant where he stayed overnight.
I wonder if he'll stick around until he makes a cocoon. Do all caterpillars make cocoons? This guy is a biggin' at nearly 4" long!

Almost as long as it took me to type that......fuckin white russian

It is a caterpillar sorta, comes from a moth.
Tomato Hornworm:
Biology and Life Cycle
The adult moth, sometimes referred to as a "sphinx", "hawk", or "hummingbird" moth, is a large, heavy-bodied moth with narrow front wings. The moth is a mottled gray-brown color with yellow spots on the sides of the abdomen and a wing spread of 4 to 5 inches. The hindwings have alternating light and dark bands.
Eggs of the tomato hornworm are deposited singly on both the lower and upper surface of leaves in late spring. The eggs hatch in six to eight days and are oval, smooth, light green to yellow in color, and measure 0.10 cm in diameter.
Larvae are pale green with white and black markings (see photo), and undergo 5-6 instars. The first instar is yellow to white in color with no markings. Later instars develop eight white, lateral "V-shaped" marks. A black projection or "horn" on the last abdominal segment gives the caterpillar the name "hornworm."
The caterpillar reaches the final instar in 3-4 weeks, and is 3 1/2 to 4 inches when fully mature. Fully-grown larvae then drop off of the plants and burrow into the soil to pupate. During the summer months, moths will emerge from pupae in about 2 weeks. Moths emerge from the soil, mate, and then begin to deposit the eggs of the next generation on tomato plants. By early fall, the pupae will remain in the soil all winter and emerge as a moth the following spring.
Damage
The larva is the damaging stage and feeds initially on the upper portions of leaves, leaving behind dark green or black droppings. The larvae blend in with the plant canopy, and therefore go unnoticed until most of the damage is done. Late instar larvae are capable of destroying several leaves as well as the fruit. As the larvae mature in size the amount of defoliation increases, with the last instar consuming over 90% of the total combined foliage consumed by all instars.
Management Options
Cultural Control
Handpicking the hornworms from infested plants is a safe and effective option in smaller plantings. Roto-tilling the soil after harvest will destroy many of the burrowing larvae which are attempting to pupate. Tillage has shown to cause up to 90% mortality.
Biological Control
There are many natural factors that help to control tomato hornworm infestations. The egg stage and early instar larvae are often preyed upon by various general predatory insects such as lady beetles and green lacewings.
Tomato hornworm larvae are also parasitized by a number of insects. One of the most common is a small braconid wasp, Cotesia congregatus. Larvae that hatch from wasp eggs laid on the hornworm feed on the inside of the hornworm until the wasp is ready to pupate. The cocoons appear as white projections protruding from the hornworms body (see photo, left). If such projections are observed, the hornworms should be left in the garden to conserve the beneficial parasitoids. The wasps will kill the hornworms when they emerge from the cocoons and will seek out other hornworms to parasitize.
Another important natural enemy is the wasp, Polistes spp. (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) (see photo, left). This common wasp kills and feeds upon a large proportion of the larvae, and will also attack cabbage looper and other garden caterpillars.

I'm not sure what's changed? It works the same as always for me. To upload I hit "Go Advanced" Then down to the "Manage Attachments" button. That brings up a new window. I click "Add Files" in the top left of the new window and that brings another little new window. Then I click "Select Files" and another new window pops up that is my computer files. I find the pics I want to upload and select them. Then when all are selected I hit "Upload Files".
It's takes a min to upload them as I take big pictures (it takes whodat even longer because his buds are so big). When they are done uploading, the one window disappears and you are left with the uploaded pics along the bottom row of the pic window thingy. Hit the "Insert Inline" button
and voila. You have a picture of a rasta cat!Jeez. I guess it has changed since I started here. Lots of buttons and windows to upload pics.
Hope that makes sense bro. Glad to have you back.

The white russian I grew is way better than the Sour Bubble. Just thought I'd pass the info along to the peeps.
I smoked about the same amount of the WR about 20 minutes ago as I did the SB last night in the first session. I am having a much nicer high right now than last night. This tasted better, smoked better and is more potent.
