Hmmm....I've never heard of those either. But now that I've seen a picture, I did have a couple on my tomato plants so far! It was definitely not a tomato hornworm, but looked just like the pic shown!

And PS....guineas are AWESOME! Very cool fowl to have around! I especially like the buff, violet and coral blue ones....very pretty!

I have 31 guineas and none of them will eat army worms! The White Leghorns are the only ones of the 10 or so different types of chickens I have that will actually eat them. They are not very excited about them and will forgo them for crickets, grasshoppers, roaches, etc.
