Manduca quinquemaculata
The five-spotted hawkmoth (''Manduca quinquemaculata'') is a brown and gray hawk moth of the Sphingidae family. The caterpillar, often referred to as the tomato hornworm, can be a major pest in gardens. Tomato hornworms are closely related to (and sometimes confused with) the tobacco hornworm (''Manduca sexta''). This confusion arises because caterpillars of both species feed on the foliage of various plants from the family Solanaceae, so either species can be found on tobacco or tomato leaves, and the plant on which the caterpillar is found does not indicate its species. The larvae of these species can be distinguished by their lateral markings: tomato hornworms have eight V-shaped markings while tobacco hornworms have seven diagonal lines. Furthermore, the caterpillars can be distinguished from the larval stage onwards by the color of the horns on their back ends: ''M. quinquemaculata'' caterpillars have black horns, while ''M. sexta'' caterpillars have red horns. The moths can be distinguished by the number of spots on their abdomens, with ''M. quinquemaculata'' having, as its name suggests, five.〔
==Range==
''M. quinquemaculata'' is found throughout the United States, northwestern Mexico, and even southern Canada, but is less frequently found throughout the Great Plains and the southeast.
