I have some tomato plants in a planter on the deck. I
noticed 2 caterpillars on them. They are large (about 2
inches long) green with white sacks attached all over
their bodies. I noticed black droppings on the deck
under these bugs. The plant is producing plenty of
fruit but seem a little wilted but I think that is more
a factor of water (they dry out quickly in the planters)
I have one plant out in the yard that apparently does
not have any of these pests on there yet and it is doing
fine. Anyone know what these are? Can I just kill them
and be done with it or are more steps needed?
