editIf you upload an image here, it is only usable by Wikipedia. I think that's just the English Wikipedia even. There are other related wikis, such as the Wikibooks project that does textbooks like Biology and a Cookbook.
To make images available to all projects, upload them to the Commons
In particular, I plan to start a Garden book over at Wikibooks. The tomato hornworm picture would be very helpful, but I can't directly access it right now. I guess I could copy it over there if you don't do so.
Tip: at night, a UV light will make them glow
Hi there,
The species pictured in this photograph is Manduca sexta, aka the tobacco hornworm. It can be identified by 7 diagonal markings close to its spiracles.
The tomato hornworm (as the picture is labelled), Manduca quinquemaculata, can be identified by 8 V-shaped markings close to its spiracles. It can be found in nature in both green and black-bodied versions.
For more information, please see the following:

This picture should be re-labeled as Tobacco Hornworm.
