No. Don’t put him back. We called there tomato worms. I think they’re called hornworms? Either way they eat your tomatoes (thus the nickname). I give these to my chickens.

Manual removal with a black light in the dark to find them. If you don’t have chickens to feed them to, toss in a dish of soapy water.
Also BT to kill off the ones you may miss.

Kill all you find. The wasps will find the new ones just like the hornworms find your tomato plants

Pick and toss. You can hear them chomping in early morning- or get a black light and watch them glow.

Take them off and yeet them into the street

Those things totally gross me out — spray them with NEEM OIL.
