Hornworm on my jalapeno plant

Yesterday, I was picking a bunch of poblanos and jalapenos. I picked 7 good-looking poblanos and started picking the jalapenos. I noticed a very healthy jalapeno had a fresh chewed hole near the top of the pepper. I thought, how odd - something is trying to eat my jalapenos. I look further down the jalapeno plant and find a small hornworm. He wasn't the bright green I've seen before - kind of looked sickly green, khaki-like. He must have tried eating the jalapeno and didn't like it! Well, out to the field he was pitched! Good riddance to bad rubbish!
