jmorth said: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.

Yay!
At my house, the tomato moth is happy to eat black nightshade...
Also.... There are a number of different hawk moths at my house all visiting the 4 oclocks and cleome and various other night bloomers. Different moths have different host plants.
