Hornworms are often called many different names. Some people call them tomato hornworms, others tobacco hornworms, giant hornworms, goliath hornworms, horn caterpillar, or tomato hornworm caterpillar. 

There are two main strains of hornworms the tomato hornworm and tobacco hornworms. The strain that we breed and distribute is the tobacco hornworm (scientific name: manduca sexta). There are blue hornworms and green hornworms, the ones we sell are blue and not green. The reason why they are blue and not green is because of the artificial diet that comes in every hornworm cup. Wild green hornworms are toxic and likely have consumed tomato plant. Do not feed your reptiles wild green hornworms as they may be toxic to your reptiles. Tomatoes come from the nightshade family.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: 

Our worms are always shipped small so that you can grow them to the size that you prefer. Large Hornworms do not ship well and will consume a large amount of food in transit thus, cutting back on the time you have to feed them off. Also, large Hornworms create a lot of feces which builds up during shipping and will kill the worms. Hornworms grow extremely fast so don't worry if they are small on arrival. Keep your worms at room temperatures for average growth, or to speed up their growth place them in warmer temperatures.
