Tomato

Its worst enemy Tomato Hornworm · Jun–Sep

Spot it: Stripped stems and missing leaves, dark pellet droppings on leaves below, and the large green caterpillar camouflaged along stems.

Treat it: Hand-pick at dusk (they glow under UV flashlight). Leave any wearing white rice-grain cocoons - those carry parasitic wasps that will kill the next generation. Bt works on small larvae.
