hornworm 💩 is BB shape & lights up with your black light too - a lot of times that’s how we find them - crap on the lower leaves & look up & there he is

Usually they look like little grenades or pineapples, these were smooth. I’ll definitely keep an eye out though. So far all my plants are healthy. I did have one limb of my Tabasco peppers laying on the ground one day but when I looked at it, it appeared to be pulled off, it had a trailing of “bark” skin kind of like when you rip a branch off a sapling. Probably one of the idiot cats. That was a week or two ago but everything is holding out okay.

I’m not above spraying mine with Sevin preventatively but collectively the peppers have a lot of blooms and I see bees on them often so I won’t unless I really felt I had to, at this point.
