Can you identify the frass at the base of my tomato plant?

Hi All, I've been scouring my tomato plants carefully, having discovered the dreaded tomato fruitworm on some. This afternoon I noticed a pile of what I think are droppings at the base of my Sudduth plant. About 2 inches above, there's a hole in the stem, so I assume a sneaky critter has found its way in there and my plant is not long for this world.

Anyone know what it is?

Thanks!

btw, I neglected to trellis my plants before going on vacation, so I had to do it after they had grown quite a bit, and there was some trauma to the stems, which I think is what's visible at the top of the pic.
