Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

I have tried to go out and scout the horn worms, but I'll be darned if I can see them. I know that they're there bc I see the p@@p everywhere. I have plucked several tomatoes with holes. uuugghh When is the best time of the day to see them? Do they hang out on the stems or the leaves? I have seen eggs clinging to the under side of the leaves.

Live with the difficulty of hand picking, its good for the hand/eye coordination. You may have found them all already. Look for their copious droppings. Spraying the plant with water makes em wriggle. Didn't I just say not to do that?

I have found about 6 so far, but bc my plants are so big/bushy, it is very difficult to find these creatures. What should I do? I do not want to throw in the towel, but being that we are in an area of water shortage...I do not want to keep at this if in the end I will have to yank everything out, toss in the garbage, and only be left with a high water bill. Help, plz.
