Default I stand corrected.

Hornworms lay their eggs on the leaves and the only time a hornworm would be in the soil is as a pupa.

Larvae/pupa as a regular layman it is the same to me.Thanx for the info.I have never seen a large moth in the pool area,I guess during the Pro Mix material gathering cycle eggs/pupa get transferred.I know the material comes all the way from Canada.I guess when it gets here the warmth and humidity activates them.Outside in the yard no worms at all.I grow some superhots(peppers)and some wild Everglade cherrys and have never seen them outside.But when I start those in the Pro Mix inside I encounter them.Drives me crazy.
