What Bugs Eat Moon Flower

Wear garden gloves to pick off these pests and drop them into a bucket of soapy water. Tomato and tobacco hornworms, the larvae of sphinx or hawk moths, are large enough to see easily. These pests have soft, green bodies with white stripes.

What animals eat moon flowers?

Yes. Most animals will naturally avoid eating it due to the pungent smell it puts off when the leaves are crushed, but sometimes a curious pet might decide to try just a taste. Moonflowers are poisonous to everything from horses to chickens, pigs, cows, and sheep as well as to cats and dogs.

Do moonflowers attract bugs?

Like most moth-pollinated flowers, the moon flower is white, which attracts moths. The moon flower is a close relative of the morning glory, which opens in the morning so it can be pollinated by bees and other insects that are active during the day.
