I used to think they were a type of bee when I was little.

Theyâre terrifying in real life though because they look and sound like GIANT bees. But then when you see them chilling by a flower you realize theyâre actually just big ol softies

Same, thatâs how I learned about them, my mom had to figure out what they were so I wasnât afraid to play in the yard!

I usually do a double take thinking theyâre a bumblebee before noticing that they move different when I spot them.

And the larvae are these giant gross green caterpillars with a horn on their butt. Big squishy things that love tomato plants.
I used to see both all the time on the farm. Both scared the crap out of me when I was small. (Thinking the caterpillar could sting and that the moth was a gigantic bee)
