Because this homemade pesticide only attacks the hornworm, it does not harm the environment and does not disturb the friendly insects in your field. |
The eggs hatch and the young braconids feed on the viscera of the hornworm until they pupate as shown in the photo. |
A male cockroach has about 125 glomeruli, and a male tobacco hornworm moth has about 60 glomeruli. |
In the tobacco hornworm, many larval motoneurons become respecified and supply new muscles in the adult. |
Parasitic wasps can be released to help control the hornworm. |
The tobacco hornworm, for example, has played a key role in advancing knowledge about neurohormones known as allatotropins and their ability to regulate the biosynthesis of juvenile hormone. |
