My tomatillo plants have these little guys all over them. I am positive they're doing more harm than good but any shedding of light on the situation would be appreciated. Apologies that I couldn't get a clearer picture. If this isn't clear enough please let me know and I will try again tomorrow morning.
Thanks in advance!
