Not for the faint of heart

Thank goodness I slice my tomatoes before I eat them. When I sliced into this Roma, there was a little surprise in there. And not a good surprise! This little wormy sucker bore his way through the tomato and gorged himself on a tomato feast! Bigify the photo to see the little beast!
Here's a side profile. I'm not sure what kind of worm or catepillar it is, but it grossed me out big time! Thank goodness I didn't accidently eat him. Ewww and ewww.

  3. At least you didn't eat half the Roma and get to see the other half. There were lots of days this summer, I would go out to pick my tomatoes and eat more than I brought in. One has to wonder. :(

    Thanks for stopping by. I do love shooting pictures of my birds and critters. Some of them are trouble with a capital T but oh so very entertaining!

  6. I hate it when that happens. Good argument for not popping them into the mouth right off the vine!

  7. Was there really no sign of entry on the outside of the tomato to warn you of this squatter? I'm so glad you didn't discover it after you bit into the critter! That would have made for an entirely different post and an eating experience. :)

  8. There was a tiny tiny hole on the bottom of the tomato but I couldn't see it really well. I'll look closer next time.

  10. I'll never be able to pop a cherry tomato in my mouth again without cutting it open. I echo the ewwwwwwwww.
