hmm, that is interesting.

It had been raining off and on for a week, about 2 inches in total, during the time of this little fella coming on to the cement. I do water alot and do have slug problems.

I have been on the look out for others. Nothing in the yard is visibally eaten. It's cooler now and fall, so who knows!!

That is a deadly Canadian Spitting pillar. It is extremely venomous, one bite and your whole family will die. Good thing you killed it.

Looked like a Tomato Hornworms. Tomato Hornworms are the larva of a huge moth called five-spotted hawkmoth. Approximate size of the moth is around the size of a hummingbird. The hawkmoth is gray-brown with yellow spots on the sides of their body.

I was eating my sandwich when seeing this topic and I dropped it poor me!
It looks so scary! I've never seen a huge one like this in my life!
