The tomato hornworm starts small.

And grows quickly.

And then they seem to disappear. Where do they go? Underground. They drop to the ground and bore into the soil to complete their life cycle.

This year I've had only a couple of tomato worms. They have provided some excitement for my granddaughter and me. The worm is very beautiful and a master of disguise. It is also a very good reason to do some research and learn about the amazing life cycle of the moth and butterfly world. A shape shifter? A transformer?
