My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Worm or Caterpillar Eating Tomatoes

13 years ago

Hi everyone,
First post here! I just started gardening and am already running into issues with pests. I seem to have worms or caterpillars eating my unripe tomatoes.

Here are pictures of the tomatoes that were eaten and the work/caterpillar that did the damage:

I live in Houston, TX if it helps identify the pest. Do any of you have any ideas what this pest is and how to kill them?
