If you want to learn more about tomato hornworms in all stages of their life cycle, this link tomato hornworms has great pictures and information about hornworms.
Notice the handle like thing on the pupa on the left. Hornworms
have "handles" and luna moth pupa don't. Also, hornworm pupa are
found in the soil and luna moth pupa are found in cocoons above ground.

How cool were these? I have seen the moths and the caterpillars before, but never the pupa. I'm glad we are catching these guys early! Yikes!
