What do hawk moth caterpillars eat?
The hawk moth caterpillars that we had in our backyard were the tomato eating kind. They are small green inch worms at first and then grow into 3-4 inch long squishy green caterpillars with yellow and black stripes, eye spots on their sides and a big hook on their tails. They ate our tomato plant leaves and sometimes the green tomatoes too. When they had grown large enough, they burrowed into soil and just over a month later emerged as moths :)
