The journey of a hornworm goes through several phases throughout its life span. From emerging as a tiny ovum, the hornworm slowly develops into a caterpillar that voraciously feeds on foliage. As the caterpillar matures, it sheds its skin numerous times, shedding its old skin for a new one, enabling its physique to grow.
After a series of molts, the hornworm reaches its full size, calculating approximately three to four inches in length. At this point, it enters the chrysalis stage by fastening itself
to a secure surface.
Within the chrysalis, the hornworm transforms into an entirely distinct creature. This metamorphosis is nothing short of miraculous, as the larva undergoes a total reorganization of its body. After a duration
of time, the pupa splits open,
and the adult hornworm emerges with colorful wings.
