I know that wild hornworms are toxic to feed off but in my yard we have a "purple potato tree" (lady at the nursery said thats what its called) and its been getting eaten up lately. I went to take a look at it only to find huge juicy hornworms all over it....I dont know if this plant is toxic or not but I dont think Ill feed any off just to be safe rather than sorry. I also found a ton of eggs which I gathered like 10 of, these are OK to feed off when they hatch if they eat hw chow or bell peppers (until I get the chow) correct? Im just curious if these are a different type of hornworms and if possibly they are safe to eat...I took some pics but somehow my camera card is missing and my camera still took the pics ....heres a pic I found online of the plant.
I couldnt find a good pic of the leaves because apparantly alot of plants similar to this one are called "purple potato tree"
