The journey of a hornworm goes through several phases throughout its lifetime. From hatching as a tiny ovum, the hornworm slowly develops into a caterpillar that voraciously consumes on foliage. As the caterpillar matures, it sheds its skin numerous times, shedding its old skin for a new one, allowing its physique to expand.
After a sequence of molts, the hornworm reaches its full size, calculating approximately three to four inches in length. At this point, it enters the pupal stage by attaching itself to a safe surface.
Within the chrysalis, the hornworm transforms into an entirely
different creature. This metamorphosis is nothing short of miraculous, as the larva undergoes a complete reorganization of its physical form. After a duration of waiting, the pupa splits open, and the fully-grown hornworm emerges with vibrant wings.
The grown-up hornworm, now a night-flying insect, seeks
a mate to continue the cycle. After mating, the female hornworm deposits her ova on a appropriate host plant for the offspring. And so, the life cycle of a hornworm starts over again, persisting the circle of existence for this amazing creature.
