Looks like a tomato horned worm. They will devastate a garden within a couple of days.

On tomato plants they look just like a branch in color and size. These camo experts will shred a tomato plant and yeah, have an umbrella handy when you squish ‘em.

Yep. Horned worm. Fine fishing bait.

You should see 2 or 3 chickens fight over one of those

My grandmother called those tomato worms. They got smashed on sight.

We lucked out when we were growing tomato's. We had what we called a cutworm that would hit us, cutting the plant and felling it like timber. They were a bit smaller than a little finger, yellow and black, similar to this one, and sevin would take care of them. We had a fogger we could poin where we needed it to go. We planted 2 rows, and skipped one so we could always get to one side and fog it up. No telling what all we killed.
