Can somebody please tell me what these are on my tomatoes?  They are destroying my plants and tomatoes. I have lost about 20 tomatoes already. I have sprayed with 7 but it didn’t seem to do anything!!  Thank you.

    Fruit flies?

    Something like a caterpillar or bird is munching on the fruit, and then the fruit flies move in.

    I guess you are not in the UK which makes it a bit harder to suggest which pest started the damage. The fruit flies are just taking advantage of the damage already caused.

    Thank you everybody for your quick responses!  It must be a bird, I can’t see anything else and it is happening at all times of the day.  I had one I was looking at this morning after I sprayed and it was fine, then a couple hours latter something had taken a chunk out of it. I guess I need to get some netting.
