eww these are gross. I had some time to go outside today and found about 7 or 8, couldn't find any more. Tossed about 7 tomatoes with holes in them. Sprayed the plants with Spinosad. It seems they go for the plants that have the most dense foliage, but they weren't picky about PL or RL tomatoes. I'm sure there have to be more someplace but I couldn't find them. Dark brown with a beige stripe, fits the description of armyworms and tomato fruitworms. I caught one bugger resting on top of a tomato, likely getting ready to dig his way in. eww.
