what do i do? hornworm help

[okiroo]

I went outside and 3 hornworms were being attacked by a fly(not a wasp!) i collected them. they spit green stuff everywhere but besides that are ok. i wont be feeding them off due to they have eaten tom plant. how do i raise them to hawkmoths? what do i feed them? can i feed them tom plant and than the babies the hawkmoths have be ok?

When they get really big, they will kinda look transparent looking on their head. you can put them in some dirt. They will dig down, cocoon in the dirt and hatch out as moths. It takes awhile though. Like a month I think. I have not hatched any out in lately. Not sure what to feed the moths then. I just feed them to my chameleon!

oh well thats cool. i'll feed them the tomato plant and girl them dirt so they can become moths. probally just lets them go. i also have mantis "eggs" ^^ im becomeing a feeder person.
