What is eating my pepper plants

It may be caterpillars or the Tomato Hornworm. Have you found any crumbly,
green/brown droppings on the leaves? They usually leave these after
feasting on tomatoes and peppers.
BTW, I just learned that I killed off all "my" hummingbird moths last
year. (I love to watch them.) I didn't know until recently that tomato
hornworms turn into hummingbird moths. Big dilemma - tomatoes or
moths... *sigh*
Maybe I'll plant one tomato plant up on the bank specifically for the
hornworms ot eat. *grin*
