Do Tomato Hornworm Adult Hawk Moths Buzz Loudly?
When watering the tomato plants, heard a loud buzzing, or maybe more of a sputtering like the Wright Brothers' first airplane, right overhead. A fairly big dark flying insect was dive-bombing. Thought maybe a bumble or carpenter bee, or some sort of big beetle? But then it landed on a tomato plant - and took off before I got a close look at it.
Curious if that could that have been the adult moth of the tomato hornworm. Are they really loud flyers? |
