Ugly life sucking, ant attracting bugs

Athenian
10 years ago

I was out harvesting some of my first tomatos this season and ran into a terrible infestation of a bug. This isn't the first time I've seen this bug; pepper and eggplants were attacked last year.

This colony was fast growing...I looked over the plant last Friday and didn't see anything. Each bug has an orange hump on its back with horns. I cut the branch off and threw it in the trash but I know there are probably a few left on the plant. What is it and what's the best way to get rid of it?

Thanks
