I forgot to comment on the worm! i always thought them to be caterpillars...
they RUINED my garden last year. within 3 days of noticing them 2/3 of my whole garden was eaten, withering, ruined. i pulled about 30 of them off, all sizes, from huge 4inch things, to tiny baby 1/2 inchers. i tried several plant safe organic pesticide poisons, NONE worked!! i finally found a highly recommended non-organic poison spray that was veggie safe and it worked, but it was too late. sad face. i still have the bottle and a itchy trigger finger. ain't nobody got time for dat.

Never really had to resort to assisting in pollination outside... Had a couple tomatoes inside all winter once and kept pollinating with the eraser end of a pencil.. Guess there really is a bee crisis in some parts of the country.
Tomato, Tobacco I understand you can get nicotine from both plants... That nasty caterpillar can get as big around as your finger... They do alot of damage quick!! Why mention tobacco? Until SB posted that pic I had only heard them called Tobacco Worms... My Grandpa grew tobacco and used to pay my Father (when he was a kid) a nickel a piece for each head he bit off of those juicy buggers!(puke)!
one tomato plant is producing, the other has nada. gonna have to pollinate that one too.
i blame monsato for:

there are many studies on how their gmo crops have affected to bee populations. ill post some if you'd like....
