At night, use a flashlight to find hornworms caterpillars on your tomato plants.
If you like tomatoes, but hate wasting your time “hunting” for tomato worms, try going out with a flashlight at night; the tomato worms will be right out in the open on the plants (not hiding).

I go out at night with a coffee can to collect the “munchers,” and my chickens have a heyday the next morning eating them for breakfast!
