Anne, there are quite a few species of cutworms. I didn't know about climbing cutworms until I had my first infestation a couple of years ago. The moths must have come through and laid eggs in my potted tomatoes. Something was eating my potted tomato leaves all lacy and I could never find them until they grew bigger. They started out tiny, like cabbage caterpillers, but were brownish grey. Look to see if there is dark greenish caterpiller poop among your leaves. These cutworms look almost identical to the cut worms that stay in the ground and chew off young seedling at ground level. If any of your plants are in pots, try flooding the pot with some water, and often the cutworms will float up above the soil, especially if you riffle the top of the soil a bit.
