With her hummingbird like flutters, a Carolina Sphinx Moth floated through your garden, unassumingly laying her eggs on your newly planted tomato and pepper plants. Photo: Mike Raupp, University of Maryland, Department of Entomology A hawkmoth, the Carolina Sphinx, is the adult form of a tobacco hornworm. As you sat there basking in the evening sun, relishing in your hard work, a little moth fluttered from flower to flower sipping nectar. Neat little rows of tomato, pepper, squash, and cucumber plants accompanied by flowers and herbs were all planted in view from your back deck.
A few weeks ago you were sitting back admiring your freshly planted garden.
