Definite hard to find them. You really have to stare at the plant because they camouflage with the same color of the leaves and they can do a lot of damage.
I'm in Northeast Ohio. I found 21 of them on my Pepper and Tomato plants last week. I mixed up some BT and sprayed all my plants. Next day found 5 more dead on the ground. I have never had them go after pepper plants before.
Sounds like that what's happening to my plants found a few black catapillars but my plants were healthy yesterday and today looks like a skeleton 💀! Thanks for this video!! Imma go out and look now!
When I was a little girl in Jamaica, I used to be so delighted to find one. And they were pretty common. I was oblivious to how they were competing for my food.

They glow under a blacklight, much easier to find them at night.
Poop💩 is a perfectly acceptable term. 😂🤣😂
Showing the actual worm would have been helpful too
Fun fact: chickens will fight over them.
I have a Black Light flashlight that I take out at night and those guys glow when you shine it on them.
Gross… only 1 worm i hate more… sea worms

My arch nemesis 😡😡😡
I used to love giving tomato hornworms to the chickens.
West central Indiana, already went through these culprits. So glad, ick.

I just picked 5 off of 2 pepper plants this morning…so keep an eye out on your peppers and tomatoes 🍅
They're voracious lil bastids.
Look above the poop!
As an FYI, caterpillar (insect) poop is called frass.

I had several of them last year. This year, so far so good. I feed them to my chickens. They fight over them😂😂
