Found these gorgeous creatures on my tomatoes this morning! Pulled the whole stem off, and threw it into the little tank that we're keeping a pair of small snapping turtles in. They ate them with relish! 
They are "tomato hornworms" which metamorphose into (or would have) Sphinx moths. And that's Dennis' hand. I wouldn't get that close! Snakes yes (go figure), caterpillars...NO!!!
