Hi Guys again. I am back to you once again, this time with a Tomato Problem. i Planted those Tomato's from seed (a bit late this year) and this is the result, they are eaten with some sort of Caterpillar (see pics) Guys would love know what are those, why this has happened, or is their a way of prevention. Many Thanks.

not 100% sure but I think it is a moth and possibly not fully developed yet at this stage,It will go through another two stages before emerging as a fully grown moth. could be a copper underwing but will send pic to friend.

yes james your right about the blossom end rot but he wanted to know about the caterpillar. That would have been a second question and the fee would have gone up accordingly
