Cheryl Blanchette on Aug 15, 2013They are the horned tomato catapillar they are best hand picked off and fed to the chickens lol squished so satisfying after they demolished a plant.

Fran Barrett on Aug 17, 2013Depending on the exact species, they may become giant moths like the Hummingbird Moth, or the Sphinx Moth. Sometime swallowtail butterflies. http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/insimg/05517F4.jpgHelpful Reply
