Something is eating holes in my tomatoes. The tomatoes are not
touching the ground. Here is a picture of two tomatoes with holes
in them:

Never ever let your brain explode. It's VERY bad for you and
it leaves a terrible mess for someone to clean up.

I'm thinking grasshoppers. The holes in my tomatoes look much the same.
But not knowing where you are it's just a guess. The grasshoppers here in
Texas are voracious.

That's my thought, too. (I've got more grasshoppers than usual this year.
More rabbits, too. Probably the weather last fall and winter.)

Hornworms usually devastate the leaves in a pretty noticable way in addition
to munching on the fruit.

It could be grasshoppers, Tomato Hornworm or slugs. I use that diometreus(excuse spelling) earth stuff on mine. It is a natural product and non toxic to humans and animals but gets rid of the bugs.
