Tomato Cutworm

cut worm 1
I found a hole in one of the Tomatoes. I plucked the tomato from the plant and yelled into the hole.

This pesky caterpillar emerged defiantly.


You wait and wait for a tomato to grow and then one of these critters comes along and spoils it :)

    I just found a hole in each of 3 tomatoes, but I didn't keep them or poke in the hole, LOL. Why do you say it's a cut worm? As far as I know, cutworms eat around the stems of young plants, not into fruits... but I might be wrong.
