Excellent advice, Maryl! Thank You!

I love those BIG boys! They were feeding on one of my plants (not tomatoes) ... I can't remember which ones, but I remember the location. It was a potted plant.

Freaked me out because I was not expecting it!

But I captured it and fed it until it turned into a moth.
