Ugly little critters. In the old days we used DDT dust for them.

I only have a small crop, Seven Dust claims to work, i spray mine with the liquid Seven and two days later I found another one munching on one of my bushes. Oh well

Nice image. I don't have those on my tomatoes but I sure have a lot of leaf-footed bugs. They are really hard to get rid of.

when young, one of my jobs was to squish them on the tomato vine. My dad had a tub with a light... the water had a tad of detergent... the moths would be attracted at night and drown.

Sirsnapalot, was as his name implies, heroic for gathering them... does he make use of the meat?

No thanks I’ll pass, if you ever stepped on one and see the green sh#& that gushes out, “oh that looks delicious” is the last thought you’d have.
Found this video of a person who ate one, https://youtu.be/f1_4uEaDsOo
