It's a shame that they can devastate tomato plants so quickly. The adult moths are quite beautiful and are the insect equivalent of a hummingbird. They can hover, fly up, down, forwards and backwards. And they pollinate many flowers. What they take away, they give back.
And if the tomato plant is big enough, it usually survives the horn worms and even benefits form a little pruning.
