First, I know you shouldn't feed wild caught bugs because of the risk of exposure to pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals.
I live on family land, and I know for a fact that no chemicals have been put on this earth. We've had a garden for a few years, and of course, we've dealt with the hornworms. I studied up on the habits of hornworms. They drop their eggs under the tomato plants, and the next year, the babies hatch and eat the tomatoes. In other words, they don't travel.
So, I know, 100% that any hornworms on my tomatoes have not been exposed to any chemicals and I had almost talked myself into using them as a treat for the lizards.
Then I saw someone on here say that they contain certain toxins from eating the tomato plant.
I was wondering if anyone could document that fact?
