Bug in hollow tomato stem

redeye
18 years ago

The tomato plant's lower stem turned brown within 6 inches of the soil level and the brown portion is hollow with a black bug inside. It almost looks like it is in a cocoon. Most likely it is the larvae of something. It does not appear to be a stalk borer based on what I've read. All help is appreciated. --- Ed
