The primary pest that eats ripe tomatoes is the tomato hornworm, which is the larval stage of the five-spotted hawk moth. These green caterpillars are known for their voracious appetite and can quickly defoliate plants and damage fruit. Other pests, like aphids and fruit worms, can also affect tomatoes, but the hornworm is particularly notorious for feeding directly on ripe tomatoes. Regular monitoring and integrated pest management strategies can help control these pests.
