What are the yellow eggs found on my tomato leaves?

Expert Response

Good morning, this is actually caterpillar poop.  If you look up you will likely see the culprit.  Probably a tomato hornworm.

Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you coming. Slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be, and, the top of one mountain is the bottom of the next, so keep climbing-- Andre De Shields
