I got this picture of the bug that's eating my tomato plant (and tomatoes):
Anybody got any ideas on how to get rid of it?

I am strictly a novice, but I have had experience with that type of bug. It is a leaf hopper; you can always identify them by the flattened portion of leg at the base of their 'leg' above the 'foot'.
What I was successful with was insecticidal soap. You have to hit them directly, not just spray the plants; although I think that is a deterrent as well. But they are persistent, so you must be.
I'm sure there are others here that can help you as well. |

| That's a leaf-footed bug and I use Neem oil on them. |
