Black spiked insect on tomato

Hello all I've posted on the tomato pest and disease forum but have had little to no response. Now I've learned to post a better picture and believe that I may get a little more insight here. The plants were at the time slightly stressed and may in the end not make it. Mostly I'm just looking for an ID since I've searched the net and many forums with no luck.

I am familiar with most of the common pests in my area. I've not ever seen these little guys before.

This was just one cutting but in fact the infestation has substantially grown and is now being tended to by my local ant population which is always great (he said sarcastically)

Any help on the ID would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Mike
