They have an interesting lifecycle. Once worms are mature, basically after stripping your tomato plants of foliage, they burrow into the soil and pupate. I kept a couple in a 2l coke bottle filled with soil. They burrowed to the bottom and about 3 weeks later emerged as moths. I would think they are a huge problem in warmer climes, with that fast life-cycle. Mine had hitched a ride on tomato seedlings that must have originally come from Florida or another warm place.

Just that you were actually moved to 'keep a couple" in any bottle at all......confirms you are a true SEEKER.
