stevasaurus 22,956 #1 Posted November 1, 2016 We found these on one of our tomato plants. It is 1 November 2016...we have only had a light frost as yet. 30 miles west of Chicago. It is not so much the caterpillar, but the white things that are hanging on it. Anybody seen anything like this before?? Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,956 #3 Posted November 1, 2016 Thanks Craig...the wife and I just watched the video. I mean it...thanks. I have a nest of some kind of bees/wasps in the eave of my garage that I have been waiting for cooler weather to destroy. I may have to re-think that and check out some more information.

JAinVA 4,629 #4 Posted November 1, 2016 By the time you see the Hornworm covered with these guys the worm is toast.He will no longer eat anything.The Braconid wasp is definitely a beneficial insect.When I find this sight on my tomatoes I let nature take its course.If the Hornworm doesn't show signs of the eggs it becomes instant fertilizer around here.JAinVA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DennisThornton 4,769 #8 Posted November 1, 2016 I was going to tell you that it was the "Crawling Dead" but several others took my lead... Your question has been answered better than I was going to!

6wheeler 653 #9 Posted November 22, 2016 Poor Hornworm. NOT!!!!! Don't kill the wasps. Most all are beneficial. I don't kill any. Just stay away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
