| something is affecting my tomato, If I were to guess I would say some sort of virus (to me it looks similar to a mathematic equation, perhaps a fractal). Anyway here are the pics.

| my guess would be stink bugs. I'm seeing a lot of them around my tomatoes and while I don't have many red one's yet, the green ones look mottled like that. Okay to eat. Christine |

| Agree with Christine. The area under the yellow spots should have dead white tissue since the stinkbugs inject a toxin that kills cells. If you want to see more pictures go to Google, select IMAGES and enter Cloudy Spot, which is the proper name for this condition, or stinkbug bites if that doesn't work. Carolyn |
