In my experience Hawk Moths , granted, the bane of the tomato, are, to me an exhilarating experience to view and picture. If a caterpitter is found on a tomato I move the offender to the other side of the fence where they consume to their heart's content on a purposely placed tomato plant not intended to harvest.
These Hummingbird Moths can stop in mid air sift 45 degee angles and deposit their collecting porbiscus several iches deep into the recipient honeypot aii the while maintaining position while extracting the nectar,.
