Help! My Tomatoes have bugs.

Does anyone know what these are and how to get rid of them?

leaffooted bugs

I'm not sure how you'd get rid of them, but I don't think they are harmful (other than cosmetically) to the tomatoes.

Usually, Safer's Soap, or a natural soap like Dr. Bronner's diluted in water and sprayed on the plants, will kill any insects. Make sure you do it in the evening and rinse them well before they get sun on them.

My tomato plants got eaten by caterpillars..no matter how many times I took the buggers away, they found their way back and ate my plants

I still have big watermelon vines at least..sigh..
