Amazing photograph! It might have been laying eggs. I have pulled many hornworms off tomato plants, and often left the ones with white predator eggs on them to encourage their help with hornworm control. The other day, i watched a yellow jacket wasp search for and capture caterpillars on a geranium plant in a hanging basket. It kept dropping them because they were too big, so it kept coming back until it caught and dropped them all where I could dispose of them.

Robert, thank you for the insight! I had never seen anything like this with the worms. It was really awesome to see nature at its best. Thank you for the information about the natural pest control!
