    Great job showing the black light. Those worms will destroy a plant in a couple of hours

      Yes the worms sure will eat you out of house and garden, worse than when the in-laws come.

      @DeepSouthHomestead Hello! What is leaving the black droppings on my tomato, eating stem and leaves overnight, but no other tomato plant..and I cant see any worm on it in daytime at all.. does that huge hornworm hide in the mulch all day? It is huge.. Is it probably another worm eating the leaves and stem since it is totally absent in daytime? Or does that Tomato Hornworm hide all day? Its bugging the heck outta me! I have ZERO other damage to ANY plants in the greenhouse..but that one tomato has the black droppings and damage..no worm in sight. Much Love, Yall and God Bless

    I put my two year old Tiny Tim Tomato in rich soil in my garden and one of these bit into EVERY TOMATO on the plant and ate most of the leaves! Just ordered a flashlight like this. They`re on all my tomato plants and ground cherries too.

      Hello @baneverything5580. Yes, those little guys will eat your plants up pretty quick. Its kind of fun using the blacklight to locate them at night and you definitely can see them better. Thanks for watching.

      Thank you, sir. I am a retired widower truck driver I did not plant this year. But I enjoy canning. I never heard of the black before. As always I enjoyed it. God bless.

    Great to see you'll. We had that problem and a yellow fuzzy worm. Insects I've never seen before. I also so found them rolled up in the tomato leaves. Fantastic idea. But if I go out st night I've got a couple of black bears. Ate my corn in a fenced garden. The stinker is getting closer and closer. Every time it rains when I get in the garden there's something else. They're dropping them from the sky a lot earlier there were a lot of helicopters. You both stay safe and blessed. Thanks for sharing great to see you again.

      What does bear taste like? We have the same problem with squirrels eating our peaches and apples. We enjoy squirrel every now and then!

    Hi Mr. Mickey! So good to see another video from you and such great info regarding the tomato 🍅worms, those little buggers are a real pain huh? Hope all is well on your end and saw Mr. Danny (Deep South Homestead) rainy video that had the beautiful wood piece you brought to him. Will you continue to have videos of your wood mill?

      They can sure tear up your tomato plants so its a great blessing you have there, in not having them!
