Aphids are pretty much all females, by the way. Just thought you'd like to know. They reproduce by bearing live babies without requiring any males at all. Males show up occasionally, especially in the fall when the aphids need to actually lay some eggs to overwinter. Aphids can easily be managed by regular squishing and/or strong sprays of water directed at them. You just need to keep up with them because each 'mother' will bear between 50 to 100 babies over about 30 days and each of those will begin having their own babies in about a week. Do the math, and get very, very skeered, lol!

Two-lined Spittlebug, adult. Next time, start your very own new thread rather than hitchhiking on one that is 6 years old and of a different subject. You'll get more attention to your question PLUS we love to see new posts and new people.

Thanks for your replies and suggestions. I will take a sample and visit my local extension service office. That was really great advice. :) However, I wish those "3 tiny holes" were the extent of the damage This leaf is actually in very good shape. There are no aphids that I can see and I have not been able to find any other bugs on the plant. I will visit my local extension office where I can find some help and not criticism.. Perhaps I am wrong about these bugs causing the damage, but there is no doubt lots of damage to my tomato plant. I had holes inside some of my small fruit, even after this posting.. I opened one of the fruit and found nothing living inside.

Not fungus gnat larvae, which look like tiny legless maggots.
