Question by purplepurp21: What kind of pests are on my tomato plant?
I noticed this sticky white stuff on some leaves of my tomato plant. It opened and inside we’re these tiny yellow larve or pupae. They were really tiny. I found a few spots that had them. My tomato plants been sickly looking. Some leaves are turning brown. Any ideas what this pest is and how to get rid of it?

Sounds like Mealybugs to me!
Sometimes ants will actually harvest and farm the mealybugs on your plants!
Should be able to get rid of them with neem oil or a pepper/tobacco solution.

thanks this helped me alot
Neem Oil is a good product to use on your tomato plants when pests take over. Just remember to use it in the early morning or late afternoon. If it is used in the middle of a hot day it could actually burn your plant leaves.
