found in a tomato
I found a bunch of this in a Brandywine tomato on the vine where one was cracked and starting to rot near the stem. I don't remember seeing them on my tomatoes before.

I'm curious, what bait do you
I'm curious, what bait do you use to collect sap beetles. I live in california and thus far I have not seen any.
