Default How did I miss this guy?

I couldn't believe the size of this monster Hornworm. Finally found it via its droppings. Tracing the destruction, it's almost like it had jumped from plant to plant or crawled past a lot of foliage and toms to find something more to its taste or something.

Seen here in my "booking" area, it didn't survive the transition to the paper wasp feeding area. This beast was a full 4 inches long stretched out and feeding on my Kimberly plant.
