Hornworm - the closer look at this "monster"

Follow the trail of "poop" and you will find the reason why your leafs are missing and chunks are taken from green tomatoes and in my case - Turkish Orange Eggplant... (larger pics inside)

These are started to pop-up just in the last few weeks or so, have not seen them earlier!

They are creepy looking. I've seen/killed two like yours and killed a few small ones a few weeks ago.
Nice pics.
