Finding hornworms on pepper plants at night using a UV/Blacklight flashlight

I used a UV blacklight flashlight for finding hornworms on my pepper plants at night. The UV lights are very inexpensive, there are many models available. I got mine from , has 12 395nm LEDs, uses 3 AAA batteries. Here's an link to the one I bought: amzn.to/2vNqn4l For more information, please visit my website at www.pepperinfo.com/2017/08/ho... .

Very cool Peter. Everytime I watch your videos I learn something new. Did not know that a UV light could be used to find these little monsters. Thank you Peter!

Excellent to see a tool repurposed into something helpful in the garden. As destructive as the hornworm is to pepper plants, this is a great way to find and remove them.

Yes, it's a very inexpensive investment. It could be used for other things as well, such as finding scorpions and stains in hotel rooms. lol.
