Looks like tomato hornworm to me. That's the kind of damage you see here from them.

Check out this thread on tomato hornworms:

Hornworms can demolish a plant very quickly.

I remember seeing one big wormy looking thing last week,when I was planting the beans which are behind the 2 Tomato plants,Im fairly sure I removed it and my shoe accidently stood on it a few times.So does this now mean my tomato's will be ok.
Do Hornworms come in pairs or with relatives?

I had similar damage, but I only saw a few grasshoppers when I tried to look for a pest. Not sure though, Mike
