Yep, that's a huge bug here in NJ too!

Do you watch the TV show.. Fear Factor?
Ocasionally they make the contestants eat tomato horn worms

I hardly can stand picking them up and squishing them.


Here are some close-ups of the buggers:

Nice pics!
I liked how you showed the scale with the bugger
posing with the pen. Very good!
