Maybe a tomato horn worm

Would in go inside the stem?

I’ve seen images/videos of them eating stems. It would be my best guess. Of course, I am no tomato hornworm-ologist

Lmao! Thank you for your expertise

I’ve never had a problem with tomato hornworms this early in the season, but june bug grubs have done that to my radishes before. Dig around the dirt right there and see if there is one hiding.
