Is there some way to make it easier to find tomato worms? *Do they jitter if

In my experience, when there is even one worm there, top leaves start
to rapidly dissappear.
I was fortunate in spotting one early before he grew and got started
but it was dumb luck as I was not looking.
I use an innocous vegetable insecticide and have not had further
problems
