Gotta plant the thing that attracts the thing that eats the thing eating your things.

I think that's a tomato hornworm! They are indeed gigantors, and surprisingly dense/heavy

And they turn into Sphinx moths that look cool

These little fuckers are both a bane of my garden, and the reason i've made such good friends with the crows.

Without a full spectrum of their natural diet, these things have a turquoise color instead of a green one.
They still are able to go through their full life cycle just fine, they just aren't camouflaged for live foliage.
All I know about growing them is that we had a limited number of them on wet substrate in 32oz containers, and the breeding adults were fed hummingbird-style on a syrup that was boiled in-house.
You don't want these anywhere near your garden though.

these guys (tomato hornworms) are fluorescent under UV so you can take a black light out at night to spot them
