I say slug also.
  They look like they are being skinned. Might catch them after dark,  with a light.

I walk the dogs a few times a night I’ll peek a look for slugs. No beer here I have clear pop that might work?

If it were slugs you would find some slime trails.

If it were slugs you would find some slime trails.   Just looked nothing suspicious but noticeable black ameba looking stains on a lot of the tomatoes. Poop of some kind.

No clue I’m not a gardener by any stretch. Wife up in the cities visiting the grandkids I’m on dog duty. The neighbor lost her tomato plants we have plenty so I picked her some.  Several looked like they were peeled with shallow bites that looked fresh no clue what’s doing it never came across this before. For not having hoppers early on we sure have them now the big ones and the fun size one could they be doing that?     looks like squirrel to me. the little curved edges on the one on the right , looks like squirrel teeth to me. they chew on gas caps here , similar pattern to the chewing.

Been dropping in at night when I take the dog out I’ve not seen anything I can confirm doing it. I’ll pull the camera chip today and look that over.

That is how mine look from hoppers.  We had hoppers bad year for two year and really bad.  This year is good.  For having no hoppers a few months ago we are covered in them now every size imaginable. My neighbors ducks/chickens are getting fat on them should help the pheasant population.

When I had chickens a few years ago crickets and hoppers were hard to find.

Pulled the cam chip must be a bad chip old pics, partial pics, blank pics must be a bad SIM card I swapped it out for a different card. Wife fired up the tiller to take away some habit if she doesn’t wipe out the camera I’ll check it tomorrow. The tomato’s are finally starting to ripen I’ll see what I can find when I’m picking them later today.
