I noticed today the top of my buds were bitten. At least some of em check for caterpillars and their poop. There was zero I do have lizards in my yard. Are they eating my buds.

Look for white moths cabbage loopers or bagworms .do you have enough bud to cut one with brown bud spots off to see if there are worms inside?

Use the spinosad on them for sure that will take em out . Any brown spots on your buds ?

Something ate the top of 1 of 12 of my tomato plants a week ago, wasn't a baby deer this year, thinking a bird, was 6 foot up. Long story short , just like people who eat glue or lick windows nature has a variety of IQ's.

Yup the spinosad works wonders. Only brown spots I got were from where those shitapliars ate the top of my lovely baby buds.

That looks more like a bird or some animal took a bite out of curiosity.

Might be big grasshoppers I have huge ones that do similar damage. Bud it's usually budworms at this point

Does spinosad only work as a contact killer or will it still be effective days later for new bugs that come along? I've had a thrip problem for a couple grows now, just when I think they are gone suddenly they just appear again.

I am not an entomologist so it could be a number of bugs . Bagworm or loopers usually get in the bud and cause internal damage . Grasshoppers or locusts cause external damage.
