They are about 1/3 to 1/2 inch long and have wings. When they fly, it looks
more like fluttering rather than flying like other flying insects. They
don't hop. They hang onto the plant rather strongly. Shaking the plant
doesn't cause them to turn loose. They are black all over with no other
coloring. Hard and shiny.
As I said they are on the on tomato plant.
