# What are these theee little brown things on my cherry tomato leaves?…

_Publicado por Jackie el 2025-07-23_

What are these theee little brown things on my cherry tomato leaves? Are they pests or tomato warts? They are shaped like miniature hay bales and I easily flicked them off - but not sure what caused them.  
For context, it’s been hot this week, and I’ve been watering every morning per my Planta scheduled suggestions. Am I over watering or do I have a bug problem?

Check if the soil is dry before watering.

To me it looks like the droppings (💩) of a caterpillar. Do you see signs of leaves being chewed?

No, they look perfectly healthy and are producing well!

Update: found this giant caterpillar this morning. I mean… enormous. And boy does that green color hide well in my plants! I will be inspecting daily for more of his homies.
