I HATE those caterpillars! They are responsible for ravaging my tomato plants and killing any little tomatoes that had hoped to make it to a red status. Boo.
Those yucky caterpillars are Tobacco Hornworms. I’ve had them this summer, but have been lucky enough to pick them off before they did much damage. They are called tobacco because of the little white stripes which supposedly look like cigarettes. Oh, the joys of nature!
