| I posted these a while in the pests and diseases forum but unfortunately I got no answer of what are they. I found them initially in my sunflower plants but I've seen a few in my tomato plants(not many of them, they don't seem to be so attracted to tomato plants, they seem to like way more the sunflower leaves) Anyway I just wanted to know what are they, they appear from one day to another and they just completely destroy the leaves. Thank you very much =) |

| This is what they usually do with my plants ... the tomato leaves don't look so damaged as these but they still manage to kill them once in a while. |

| Leafminers. If it's only a few leaves and the plant is large enough you can just pick off the affected leaves and dispose of them. If it's a lot of leaves or a small plant you might try squishing them with your fingers (while wearing gloves if you want). Rodney |
