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.

Also known as tobacco worms, or hookworms. Either use an insect killer like sevin dust, which I dont recommend, cause it kills the pollinators.

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.)
