It is from greenish (or whitish), oval-shaped eggs that a tomato plant's green worms come.

Specifically, the green worm in question functions as the caterpillar stage of the five-spotted hawkmoth (Manduca quinquemaculata). The mother lays the eggs on the under or upper surfaces of the leaves of host plants (eggplant, moonflower, potato, tobacco, tomato). The eggs generally will hatch in 5-8 days. The larvae generally will live 3-4 weeks before pupating 2 weeks in summer or overwintering in fall.

Why are raw tomatoes green?

Raw tomatoes are green because of chlorophyll, a pigment present in the fruit when it is still developing. As the tomato ripens and matures, chlorophyll breaks down and other pigments, such as carotenoids, develop, giving the tomato its characteristic red, orange, or yellow color.


Does thunder and lightning cause worms from coming up from the dirt?

No, thunder and lightning do not cause worms to come up from the dirt. Worms surface during rain showers because they can drown in waterlogged soil. The vibrations from thunder may startle them, but it's the wet conditions that drive them to the surface.


How do you rid tomato plants of worms?

Also known as tobacco worms, or hookworms. Either use an insect killer like sevin dust, which I dont recommend, cause it kills the pollinators. I just look for them and cut them in half with a pair of scissors. Instant compost material. Or you can have a little bit of fun and gather about 6 or 7 of them at a time in your hand and squish them like my dad did when he was a kid. (i suggest wearing gloves because one actually tried biting me, cought me off guard because he was so fast.)

Tomato sauce can help neutralize green tint in blonde hair caused by dyeing it too dark, but it may not completely remove the green color. It's recommended to consult a professional hair stylist for advice on correcting the green hue. They may suggest using a color-correcting product or treatment tailored to your specific hair needs.
