What is a Tomato hornworn (Manduca quinquemaculata) and braconid wasp? Relocated to black nightshade. They eat other Solanaceous plants like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, Jimsonweed, and Horsenettle. They cocoon and turn into 5 spotted hawk moths that pollinate at night. The caterpillars can become infected with braconid wasp larvae that look like they are covered in rice. They parasitically eat the caterpillar. The wasp are harmless unless provoked #tomatohornworm #braconidwasp | ditch_the_flock
