Tobacco Hornworm wk 2

Week 2

03/22/2011 - Removed the hornworm from tube; measurement: 3cm.  The horn on the posterior region of the worm is brown.  A sketch was made as was done also in the first week.  Obvious 10 smaller legs and 3 bigger legs in thoracic region.  Looked under dissecting microscope for more detailed characteristics.  Removed feces from the tube and replaced the hornworm back into the tube under constant light.

03/24/2011 - Removed the hornworm from the tube; measurement: 6 cm.  Hornworm appears "fatter".  Another sketch was made.  Feces was removed from the tube.  Took more photos and a video of the hornworm before replacing in the tube and back under the light.
