Larva like on Tomatillo leaves

18 years ago

In AZ low desert.

Tomatillos were health and strong. Then got a sudden and very heavy infestation of a larva/grub pest like munching on nearly every leaf with rapid and devastating effect (took out 50% of leaves in 24hrs). They are between 1/6" to 1/4", slimy with black head and grouping of tiny legs at front. They have a ridge like bump on their back. Plant is equally covered with black waste they create. They are disgusting.

They have not attacked any of the tomatoes or peppers in same garden, even where leaves touch.

Any ideas?
