Left it alone after finding it on one of my tomato plants.

That's amazing - are the eggs laid on the larva?

Yes. If anyone finds a tomato hornworm that looks like this you
should let it live (as Jane Doe did). You'll have those parasitic
wasps in your garden forever if you do, and will never have a hornworm
problem again.
