I've searched the tomato forums and online. I don't seem to be able to find a solution. |

| Are you sure that's what you have? Several insects look like them, including beneficials. And would help to know what the creatures are doing to your plants. Would help to see pictures of what's at your place. |

Think this one is an adult.

| Great images! Thanks. Unfortunately, to ID true bugs, we need to see the wings of the adult -- a top side view. If they are tomato bugs, I located this info from UC http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/r783301811.html |
Here is a link that might be useful: tomato bug management

| Have you tried planting Marigolds around your tomatoes? This usually helps, as most insects dislike the pungent aroma of these flowers. They will help drastically keep your pest level down. However, they don't seem to do much for grasshoppers, which is my main problem! |
