Tobacco Hornworm

I am a tobacco hornworm.
So guess what I do like to eat?
Onto tobacco leaves I squirm.
The plant does nicotine secrete,
To keep most animals away.
But nicotine gives me a shot
At not becoming someone's prey.
So I like nicotine a lot.
When a spider or wasp tries to
Snack on me, they turn tail and flee,
Hit by all the bad breath I blew.
They want nothing to do with me.

The less likely predator death,
The more I maximize bad breath.
