Oh, where, oh where are the Manduca eggs?
Oh, where, oh where could they be?
They are green and tiny, and hard to find,
Oh, where, of where could they be?

Today I watched a Manduca hatch!
Today I watched them come out!
They are green and tiny and hard to see!
They crawled and crawled about!

Manduca caterpillars grow and grow,
They munch and munch day and night!
They love to eat the tomato plants,
They 're big and fat, what a sight!

But now they 've turned into something brown,
They 're now in the pupa stage,
They hide themselves in a dark, dark place,
And soon we 'll see a big change.

Oh, fly, oh fly, lovely Manduca moth,
Oh, fly, way up in the sky,
Lay your eggs upon the tomato leaves,
For soon you 'll tire and die!

Tiny Manduca larva just hatched,
Tiny Manduca larva just hatched,
Tiny Manduca larva just hatched,
We're happy to see you crawl!

Eat, shed, and grow Manduca
Eat shed, and grow Manduca
Eat shed, and grow Manduca
We're watching you grow and grow!

Round and round caterpillars move,
Round and round caterpillars move,
Round and round caterpillars move,
We're watching your wandering stage!

Brown, brown, you're turning brown,
Brown, brown, you 're turning brown,
Brown,brown, you 're turning brown,
We're watching your pupa stage.

Moths, moths, flying around,
Moths, moths, flying around,
Moths, moths, flying around,
We're watching you lay your eggs!
