The hornworm has a voracious appetite and he doesn't fare so
well if he decides my tomatoes are his dinner!  The only worm I
move to another location and let live is the parsley worm. They
are the prettiest caterpillar and the butterfly they turn into is
beautiful. I usually only have a few and will move those from my
parsley to the dill. I have plenty of dill to spare. I enjoy
watching them make their cocoon and have caught them coming out
of that a couple of times.

I seem to notice more fire ants each year. They seem to like the
garden. Have to be real careful or will find them moved in out
there.  They also will get in plant pots. They are a real
nuisance.
